Description
This dish pairs juicy steak with creamy, cheesy tortellini, perfect for an easy weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- 18 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
Instructions
- Cook the tortellini in boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Remove from heat.
- Preheat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.
- Cook for about 4–5 minutes on each side for medium-rare; adjust time as needed for your preferred doneness.
- Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- In a large bowl, mix cooked tortellini with Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, then drizzle with garlic butter before serving.
- Slice the steak thin and place over or next to the cheesy tortellini. Serve hot.
Notes
Pat steaks dry before seasoning for a better sear. Use fresh or refrigerated tortellini for best texture. Do not overcook the tortellini; aim for al dente. Let steaks rest 5 minutes after cooking to keep juices. Heat the pan well to get a good crust on the steak.
