Instructions
- Prepare the steak: Season your steak generously with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
- Cook the steak: In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the seasoned steak and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from skillet and let it rest.
- Cook the tortellini: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the tortellini according to package instructions, about 3-5 minutes for fresh tortellini. Drain and set aside.
- Make the Creamhouse Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add olive oil if needed. Add the cracked garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add cheese and seasoning: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and a splash of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Add vegetables: Toss in the baby spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, stirring until the spinach wilts.
- Combine everything: Slice the rested steak into strips and add it back into the skillet with the drained tortellini. Gently toss together until coated in the creamy sauce.
- Serve: Plate your dish and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper. Enjoy your hearty meal!
