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.
Notes
For enhanced flavor, let the steaks sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. Substitute cheeses based on preference.
