Ingredients
  

For the Steak and Tortellini
  • 1 lb sirloin steak thinly sliced against the grain
  • 20 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste
For the Garlic Butter Sauce
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Large pot
  • Colander

Method
 

  1. Cook the tortellini according to package directions. Drain the pasta using a colander and set it aside.
  2. While the tortellini cooks, pat the steak slices dry and season them with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak slices in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until browned. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and optional red pepper flakes. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent it from burning.
  5. Return the cooked tortellini and steak to the skillet. Add the chopped fresh parsley. Toss everything together to coat evenly in the garlic butter sauce.
  6. Let the steak rest in the pan with the other ingredients for 5 minutes off the heat. Serve warm.

Notes

You can add a splash of white wine or beef broth to the pan after cooking the steak to deglaze it. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom before you add the butter for more flavor.
