Equipment

Large skillet
large pot for boiling tortellini
colander
knife and cutting board
wooden spoon or spatula

Ingredients

20 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated)
1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized cubes
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
garlic powder, to taste
smoked paprika, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup whole milk
1 1/4 cups shredded or freshly grated parmesan
parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
cracked black pepper (optional garnish)

Instructions

Boil tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Season steak with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear steak bites in olive oil until browned and cooked to your liking (about 3–5 minutes). Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream and milk, simmering for 3–4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in parmesan and let melt into the sauce. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Return steak and tortellini to skillet. Toss gently to coat in the sauce.
Garnish with parsley, cracked black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use sirloin for a leaner option or ribeye for maximum tenderness. Adjust garlic and red pepper flakes to taste. For a thicker sauce, simmer a minute longer before adding the tortellini and steak.
