Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Garlic
- 8 oz steak, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter
Cream Sauce and Pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 12 oz cheese tortellini, fresh or frozen
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Steak and Garlic: Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the Cream: Reduce heat to medium-low and pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the steak and garlic. Stir and let it simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, allowing the cream to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss with Tortellini: Meanwhile, cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and add the tortellini to the skillet with the cream sauce and steak. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the creamy sauce and heated through.
Notes
- Use fresh tortellini for a more tender texture, but frozen works well too.
- For extra flavor, deglaze the skillet with a splash of white wine before adding the cream.
- Adjust garlic quantity based on your preference for garlickiness.
- Pair with a light salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
