Cracked Garlic Steak Tortellini in Creamhouse Sauce Bliss is a luxurious pasta dish combining tender steak, cheesy tortellini, and a creamy garlic-Parmesan sauce seasoned with cracked black pepper and herbs. It’s rich, comforting, and full of bold flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (about 20 oz) cheese tortellini (fresh, refrigerated, or frozen)
  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced or smashed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped, for garnish
  • Optional: red pepper flakes, sautéed mushrooms, or baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Cook the tortellini in salted boiling water according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for 2–3 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add more oil or butter if needed. Sauté garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in heavy cream, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Stir in Parmesan, cracked black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until sauce thickens slightly, about 3–5 minutes.
  6. Add cooked tortellini and steak back to the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the sauce and heat through for 2–3 minutes.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs and optional red pepper flakes or toppings.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest, richest sauce.
  • Substitute half-and-half for a lighter sauce, or add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for more texture and nutrition.
  • Frozen tortellini works well—just cook and drain before using.
  • To reheat, add a splash of cream or milk and warm gently to maintain creamy texture.
  • For meal prep, cook steak and chop ingredients ahead, but assemble just before serving.
