Creamy, garlicky, and rich, this Buttery Steak Tortellini is packed with tender seared steak and cheese-filled pasta in a luscious butter sauce.
12 oz cheese tortellini
10 oz sirloin or ribeye steak
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
3–4 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup grated parmesan
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: 1/4 cup heavy cream
Optional: chopped parsley or thyme for garnish
Cook tortellini in salted boiling water according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Pat steak dry, season with salt and pepper. Sear in hot skillet with olive oil for 1–2 minutes per side. Remove and rest.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add tortellini to the skillet and toss in the garlic butter. Stir in cream if using.
Slice the steak and return to the skillet. Add parmesan and toss everything to coat.
Garnish with herbs and serve warm.
Add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for a healthier twist. Leftovers reheat well with a splash of cream or broth.
