Ingredients
  

Pasta and Meat Ingredients
  • 8 oz tortellini (fresh or frozen) Any filling works!
  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye recommended)
Sauce Ingredients
  • 4 cloves garlic (cracked) For maximum flavor
  • 1 cup heavy cream Or substitute with coconut cream for a lighter option
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Optional for extra creaminess
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper To taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley For garnish

Method
 

Cooking the Tortellini
  1. Begin by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions (usually 3-5 minutes). Drain and set aside.
Searing the Steak
  1. While the tortellini is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season your steak with salt and pepper, then sear it on both sides for about 4-5 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.
Preparing the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the cracked garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to combine with the garlic.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Gradually mix in the Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and thicken the sauce. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water or additional cream.
  2. Toss the cooked tortellini in the sauce until well-coated. Slice the steak into thin strips and layer it on top of the tortellini.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

For healthier alternatives, consider using whole wheat tortellini, gluten-free pasta, or plant-based steak alternatives. Adapt to fit dietary preferences while preserving flavors.
