A quick and delicious one-pan recipe featuring steak bite tortellini in a garlic butter sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 1.25 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup beef broth (or reserved pasta water)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Cook tortellini according to package directions until tender. Drain and set aside, reserving a small amount of pasta water if desired.
  3. Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak bites in a single layer and sear for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked to your preference. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Melt butter, then add minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn.
  6. Stir in beef broth or reserved pasta water, scraping up any browned bits from the pan to build flavor. Simmer for 1–2 minutes.
  7. Add the cooked tortellini and steak bites back into the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the garlic butter sauce.
  8. Sprinkle in Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  9. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley and optional red pepper flakes, and serve hot.

Notes

Use frozen tortellini to save prep time. Dry the steak well before searing for better browning. Avoid freezing for optimal tortellini texture, but it is possible if necessary.
