– 8 oz cheese tortellini
– 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye recommended)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 tablespoons butter
– ½ cup beef broth
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Making Garlic Steak Tortellini is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Cook Tortellini: Begin by boiling a pot of salted water. Once it’s at a rolling boil, add the tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Steak: While the tortellini is cooking, season the steak generously with salt and pepper. Cut it into thin strips for quick cooking.
3. Sear the Steak: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the steak strips and sear for about 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and add butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant—be cautious not to burn it.
5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the beef broth and sprinkle in the Italian seasoning. Stir to combine, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the steak to the skillet and add the cooked tortellini. Toss everything together, ensuring the tortellini and steak are coated with the garlic sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the steak is cooked through.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
