Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 20 oz Cheese tortellini fresh or refrigerated
  • 1 lb Steak sirloin or ribeye, cut into cubes
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 4 tbsp Butter
Creamhouse Sauce
  • 5 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 0.75 cup Whole milk
  • 1.25 cups Parmesan cheese grated
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste, cracked if possible
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Large Pot

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season the steak cubes with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and milk. Simmer gently for a few minutes, then stir in the parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Return the cooked steak and tortellini to the skillet. Toss well to coat everything in the sauce and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Adjust seasoning and serve warm.

Notes

For a lighter version, replace steak with chicken or turkey. Use gluten-free tortellini if needed. Serve immediately for the best creamy texture.
