Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fresh cheese tortellini and cook until al dente, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season and Sear the Steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet, season steak, and sear for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove and let rest.
  3. Prepare the Garlic Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter, add minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant for about 1 minute.
  4. Create the Cream Sauce: Add heavy cream and whole milk, stir, and simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Incorporate the Cheese: Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces and add it back to the skillet with the drained tortellini. Toss for about 2 minutes over low heat.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Serve hot, garnished with parsley, red pepper flakes, and cracked black pepper. Enjoy immediately!
