Ingredients
1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
16 oz cheese-filled tortellini
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook tortellini according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season beef strips with salt and pepper and sear in the skillet until browned and cooked through, then remove from pan.
In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and garlic, sautéing until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the beef to the skillet and fold in the cooked tortellini.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
Ensure the beef is sliced against the grain for maximum tenderness. Do not crowd the pan when searing the steak to achieve a proper crust. For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
