  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 8 oz sirloin or ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook tortellini according to package directions; drain and set aside.

  • Frozen tortellini works just as well—no need to thaw first.
