Cracked Garlic Steak Tortellini in Creamhouse Sauce Bliss

Print Recipe

A cozy meal made with tender steak, cheesy tortellini, and a silky garlic cream sauce that comes together in about thirty minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated)
  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye)
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/4 cups parmesan, shredded or grated
  • Parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Cracked black pepper (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the steak on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Sear the steak 2 to 4 minutes per side until a brown crust forms. Remove steak to a plate and rest for 5 minutes.
  4. While steak rests, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook tortellini until al dente, about 3 to 5 minutes for fresh pasta. Drain and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium, add 4 tbsp butter, and melt. Add 5 minced garlic cloves and cook 30 to 60 seconds.
  6. Pour in 1 cup heavy cream and 3/4 cup whole milk. Stir and bring to a low simmer.
  7. Add 1 1/4 cups parmesan gradually and stir until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
  8. Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips.
  9. Add drained tortellini and sliced steak to the sauce, toss gently to coat. Heat for a minute to warm everything.
  10. Taste and add salt, cracked black pepper, or red pepper flakes if you like. Serve with chopped parsley.

Notes

Let the sauce cool and store in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat gently to avoid breaking the cream sauce.
