How to Make Cracked Garlic Steak Tortellini
Cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Season the steak with salt and cracked black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat and sear the steak pieces until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant.
Pour in beef broth and let it simmer briefly, then add heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Add the cooked tortellini to the sauce and mix gently.
Return the steak to the pan and toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
How to Serve
Serve hot with extra parmesan on top and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. This dish pairs well with garlic bread or a simple side salad.
Tips for Best Results
Sear the steak on high heat for a good crust. Don’t overcook the steak to keep it tender. Use freshly grated parmesan for a smoother sauce. Add a splash of broth if the sauce becomes too thick.
Variations
Use chicken instead of steak for a lighter version. Add mushrooms for extra depth. Make it spicy with chili flakes. Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter sauce.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of milk or broth to keep the sauce creamy.
Final Thoughts
Cracked Garlic Steak Tortellini in Creamhouse Sauce is a rich, comforting dish that brings together bold flavors and creamy textures. It’s an easy way to create a restaurant-quality meal at home that’s sure to impress.
