Instruktioner

Cook the tortellini & green beans:

Boil tortellini according to package instructions. Add green beans during the last 3–4 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.

Sear the steak bites:

Season steak with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear steak bites for 3–5 minutes until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove and set aside.

Build the base:

In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Make the parmesan cream sauce:

Pour in heavy cream and milk, letting it simmer for 3–4 minutes. Stir in parmesan until melted into a smooth, velvety sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Bring it all together:

Add tortellini, green beans, and steak back into the skillet. Toss gently until everything is coated in that rich parmesan sauce.

Serve & finish:

Top with fresh parsley, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, and a touch of lemon zest for brightness. Serve warm and enjoy every creamy bite!

Why It Works:

The parmesan sauce brings deep, savory richness, while the green beans add a fresh, crisp contrast that keeps the dish from feeling too heavy. Paired with tender steak and cheesy tortellini, it’s the perfect balance of indulgent and fresh. 😌🧀🌱
