Ingredients
Scale
- 20 oz cheese tortellini
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp 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
- Parsley, chopped (optional)
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Cracked black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Season the steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove and let rest.
