Creating Garlic Steak Tortellini is a simple process. Follow these straightforward steps for delicious results:
1. Cook Tortellini: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook Steak: While the tortellini is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add Cream and Spinach: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Combine: Add the cooked tortellini and steak back to the skillet. Stir gently to combine everything, letting the heat warm the tortellini through.
6. Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined, creating a creamy sauce.
7. Season: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately.
