Equipment

  • large pot
  • large skillet

Ingredients
  

Pasta

  • 12 oz cheese tortellini fresh or frozen

Meat

  • 1.25 lb sirloin or ribeye steak cut into bite-size pieces

Cooking Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 cup beef broth or reserved pasta water

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook tortellini according to package directions until tender. Drain and set aside, reserving a small amount of pasta water if desired.
  • Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak bites in a single layer and sear for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked to your preference. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Melt butter, then add minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn.
  • Stir in beef broth (or reserved pasta water), scraping up any browned bits from the pan to build flavor. Simmer for 1–2 minutes.
  • Add the cooked tortellini and steak bites back into the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the garlic-butter sauce.
  • Sprinkle in Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley and optional red pepper flakes, and serve hot.

Notes

Experiment with additional seasonings or vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
