Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Cheese Tortellini (Choose fresh for the best results.)
- 1 lb Steak (sirloin or ribeye)
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 4 tbsp Butter

Instructions
- Begin by cooking the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest.

- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For an extra kick, add more red pepper flakes or cracked black pepper. Use fresh herbs like basil or thyme for different flavor. Don’t overcook the steak to keep it juicy.
