How to Make Cracked Garlic Steak Tortellini in Creamhouse Sauce Bliss

Ingredients:

• 20 oz cheese tortellini (Fresh or refrigerated varieties yield the best texture and taste.)
• 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye) (Sirloin is leaner; ribeye is more tender.)
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Garlic powder
• Smoked paprika
• 2 tbsp olive oil (Essential for searing the steak.)
• 4 tbsp butter (Creates a creamy sauce base.)
• 5 cloves garlic, minced (Adds aromatic richness.)
• 1 cup heavy cream (Contributes a velvety smoothness.)
• 3/4 cup whole milk (Balances the richness.)
• 1 1/4 cups parmesan, shredded or freshly grated (Brings a savory flavor.)
• Parsley, chopped (optional) (Brightens the dish.)
• Red pepper flakes (optional) (For a spicy kick.)
• Cracked black pepper (optional garnish) (Elevates the flavor.)

Directions:

1. Cook the Tortellini: Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the tortellini and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Steak: Season the steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

3. Sear the Steak: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let it rest.

4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until it’s fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and whole milk, stirring continuously.

5. Add Cheese: Slowly add the parmesan cheese to the sauce, mixing until it’s melted and smooth.

6. Combine Tortellini and Steak: Slice the steak and add it back to the skillet along with the tortellini. Stir everything together to coat with the creamy sauce.

7. Finish: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you like a kick, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes.
