Ingredients

- 1 lb steak sirloin or ribeye Sirloin is leaner or ribeye is more tender
- salt
- black pepper

- smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil Essential for searing the steak
- 4 tbsp butter Creates a creamy sauce base

Instructions
- Boil salted water in a large pot and cook cheese tortellini until just tender, then drain and keep aside.
- Warm olive oil in a big skillet and season the steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika before searing it for 3-5 minutes until golden brown; remove and set aside.
- Melt butter in the same pan and cook minced garlic for about one minute until it releases its aroma.
- Pour in heavy cream and milk, stirring well, then let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Slowly add parmesan cheese while whisking continuously until the sauce is smooth and creamy; adjust seasoning if needed.
- Add the cooked steak and tortellini back to the skillet and toss everything together for about two minutes to combine flavors.
- Finish by sprinkling optional parsley, cracked black pepper, and red pepper flakes on top before serving right away.
