Description

Indulge in the rich flavors of cracked garlic steak paired with tender cheese-filled tortellini, all enveloped in a luxurious creamy sauce. This dish is not just a meal; it’s a comforting experience that will leave you wanting more.

Ingredients

  • Boneless beef cut (sirloin, New York strip, or ribeye)
  • Garlic (lightly smashed and minced)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • Coarse sea salt
  • High-smoke-point oil
  • Fresh cheese-filled tortellini (or spinach and ricotta/beef-filled tortellini)
  • Heavy cream
  • Beef broth
  • Minced shallots
  • Butter
  • Non-alcoholic white wine alternative (like white grape juice or apple cider vinegar in extra broth)
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Nutmeg
  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Remove beef from fridge 20-30 minutes before cooking; pat dry thoroughly.
  2. Combine minced garlic, freshly cracked black pepper, and coarse sea salt. Rub generously over both sides of steak.
  3. Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until smoking. Add 1 tbsp high-smoke-point oil.
  4. Place steak in skillet. Sear 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium, achieving a deep brown crust.
  5. Transfer steak to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and rest 5-10 minutes.
  6. While steak rests, boil a large pot of salted water. Add tortellini; cook per package directions until al dente.
  7. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water. Drain tortellini and set aside.
  8. Using same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp butter.
  9. Sauté minced shallots 2-3 minutes until soft. Stir in minced garlic; cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  10. Pour in non-alcoholic white wine alternative (white grape juice/broth with vinegar). Deglaze pan, scraping up browned bits. Simmer 1 minute to reduce.
  11. Stir in beef broth; bring to a gentle simmer. Slowly pour in heavy cream. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5-7 minutes to thicken slightly.
  12. Remove from heat. Stir in freshly grated Parmesan until melted. Season with salt, more cracked black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Taste and adjust. If too thick, add reserved pasta water.
  13. Slice rested steak against the grain into thin, bite-sized pieces.
  14. Add drained tortellini directly into Creamhouse Sauce. Toss gently to coat.
  15. Gently fold in sliced cracked garlic steak pieces (reserve some for garnish).
  16. Serve immediately in warm bowls. Garnish with fresh cracked black pepper, parsley/chives, and extra Parmesan. Enjoy!

Keywords: Don't overcook the steak; aim for medium-rare to medium. Always rest steak 5-10 minutes after searing. Taste and adjust the Creamhouse Sauce frequently. Use your non-alcoholic white wine alternative or broth to deglaze and incorporate browned bits into the sauce. Fresh herbs like parsley or chives enhance the dish's brightness.
