Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
