Ingredients
For the Steak
1½ pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Tortellini
20 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated)
Water for boiling
Creamhouse Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
8 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
Fresh parsley, chopped
Additional Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Season the steak pieces with cracked black pepper, salt, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the steak in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
Transfer the steak to a plate and keep warm.
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir continuously.
Add Parmesan cheese, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
Simmer gently for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Return the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
Add the steak bites back to the pan and gently combine.
Remove from heat and garnish with parsley and additional Parmesan.
Serve immediately.
Notes
Ribeye, New York strip, or filet steak can be substituted for sirloin.
Freshly grated Parmesan melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.
For extra garlic flavor, roast a few cloves and blend them into the sauce.
Add spinach or mushrooms for additional texture and flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
