Description
A delightful dish that combines savory flavors and creamy textures with tender steak and cheesy tortellini.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz cheese-filled tortellini
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by boiling water in a large pot. Add the cheese-filled tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the sirloin steak pieces with salt and black pepper. Add the steak to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for about 1-2 minutes until wilted.
- Return the cooked steak to the skillet, then add the drained tortellini. Gently toss everything together to combine, allowing the flavors to meld. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
- Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Toss gently to allow the cheese to melt and coat the tortellini and steak.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of cream or broth if it seems dry.
