Ingredients
Method
Cook the Tortellini
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the Steak
- Pat the steak pieces dry and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Sear the Steak
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side, until browned. Transfer the steak bites to a plate.
Start the Sauce
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Simmer the Cream Sauce
- Stir in the heavy cream and broth. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Melt in Cheese and Seasoning
- Whisk in the grated Parmesan and Italian seasoning until smooth. Adjust heat as necessary.
Wilt the Spinach
- Stir in the spinach and chopped sun-dried tomatoes (if using). Cook for 1–2 minutes until spinach wilts.
Combine and Serve
- Add the cooked tortellini and steak back into the skillet. Gently toss to coat. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.
Notes
For best results, dry steak before searing, don't rush the cream simmer, and taste before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently.
