Instructions

  1. Season the steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Cook the tortellini according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a splash of pasta water.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 2 to 4 minutes per side. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Slice the steak thinly across the grain.
  5. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  6. Add heavy cream and whole milk to the skillet, stirring until it simmers.
  7. Gradually stir in parmesan until the sauce is smooth.
  8. Toss the cooked tortellini in the sauce with reserved pasta water, then add the sliced steak.
  9. Add red pepper flakes, chopped parsley, and cracked black pepper before serving.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  1. For a vegetarian version, substitute the steak with mushrooms or roasted cauliflower. Leftovers reheat well, but consume within 2 days for best texture.
