How to Make Cracked Garlic Steak Tortellini in Creamhouse Sauce Bliss

Ingredients:

• 20 oz cheese tortellini (Fresh or refrigerated varieties yield the best texture and taste.)
• 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye) (Sirloin is leaner; ribeye is more tender.)
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Garlic powder
• Smoked paprika
• 2 tbsp olive oil (Essential for searing the steak.)
• 4 tbsp butter (Creates a creamy sauce base.)
• 5 cloves garlic, minced (Adds aromatic richness.)
• 1 cup heavy cream (Contributes a velvety smoothness.)
• 3/4 cup whole milk (Balances the richness.)
• 1 1/4 cups parmesan, shredded or freshly grated (Brings a savory flavor.)
• Parsley, chopped (optional) (Brightens the dish.)
• Red pepper flakes (optional) (For a spicy kick.)
• Cracked black pepper (optional garnish) (Elevates the flavor.)

Directions:

1. Cook the Tortellini: Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt and the cheese tortellini. Cook them according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Steak: Season the steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. Sear the Steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove it from the skillet and let it rest.
4. Make the Creamhouse Sauce: In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then, pour in the heavy cream and whole milk, stirring constantly. Allow the mixture to simmer gently.

6. Combine: Slice the rested steak into thin strips. Add the cooked tortellini and steak to the creamy sauce. Toss everything together until well coated.
