Ingredients
- 300 g 10 oz steak (sirloin, ribeye, or flank), sliced thin
- 250 g 9 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
- Cook the tortellini: Boil in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sear the steak: In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from pan and keep warm.
- Make the sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, reduce heat, and let simmer for 2–3 minutes.
- Add Parmesan: Stir in grated Parmesan until the sauce thickens slightly and turns creamy.
- Combine: Add cooked tortellini and steak slices back into the skillet. Toss to coat everything evenly in sauce.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and extra cheese. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.
