Description
A delightful blend of tender steak and soft tortellini in a creamy sauce, perfect for family dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 400 grams fresh tortellini (about 14 oz)
- 300 grams tender steak (sirloin or ribeye), sliced into thin strips (about 10 oz)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 200 grams fresh spinach (about 7 oz)
- 250 ml heavy cream (about 1 cup)
- 100 grams grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 cup)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the tortellini in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the sliced steak with salt and black pepper. Add the steak to the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked tortellini and seared steak back into the skillet, gently tossing to coat them in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat everything through.
- Plate the steak tortellini, ensuring each serving has a good amount of the creamy sauce, steak, and spinach. Garnish with extra grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
