Ingredients
Scale
- 20 oz cheese tortellini
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye)
- Salt and 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 Parmesan cheese, shredded or freshly grated
- Parsley, chopped (optional)
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Cracked black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes until browned and tender, then remove from the skillet.

Notes
Keep the steak slightly rare for best tenderness and use freshly grated Parmesan for optimal flavor.
