Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini for 3-5 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Sear each side for 3-5 minutes until browned. Remove and let rest.
  3. In the same skillet, lower the heat and melt 2 tbsp of butter. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant for about 1 minute.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and whole milk, increase heat slightly, and let simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Gradually whisk in parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Return the steak (cut into bite-sized pieces) and tortellini to the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the creamy sauce for 2 minutes.
  7. Garnish with parsley, red pepper flakes, and cracked black pepper before serving hot.
