Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak cut into 1-inch thick cubes
  • 1 lb refrigerated cheese tortellini plump, folded cheese-filled
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or canola oil, for searing
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup beef broth to deglaze
  • 1 cup heavy cream double cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 2 tbsp fresh green parsley finely minced, for garnish
  • 1 tsp coarse cracked black pepper plus more to taste
  • 1 tsp kosher salt for seasoning steak

Equipment

  • 1 Heavy-bottomed Cast-iron Skillet Essential for getting a dark brown crust on the steak.
  • 1 Large stainless steel pot For boiling the tortellini.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 1 lb of refrigerated cheese tortellini and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until plump and floating. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp of avocado oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season steak bites with kosher salt and add in a single layer. Sear for 2 minutes to develop a dark brown crust, flip, and cook 1-2 more minutes until medium-rare. Remove from pan.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Melt 4 tbsp of unsalted butter in the skillet. Add 6 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until light golden and fragrant.
  4. Pour in 1/4 cup of beef broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, whisk gently, and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until thickened and glossy.
  5. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese until smooth. Fold in the cooked tortellini until heavily coated. Gently fold the steak bites back in to warm through.
  6. Remove from heat. Garnish generously with 2 tbsp of finely minced fresh green parsley and 1 tsp of coarse cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tip 1: Dry your steak thoroughly before searing to ensure a deep crust.
Tip 2: Do not use pre-shredded parmesan cheese, or your sauce will become grainy.
