A sizzling one-pan skillet dinner that brings bold, creamy flavor with steak and tortellini.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 package (9 oz) cheese tortellini, cooked and drained
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
  • Optional: grated Parmesan for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a hot skillet and sear steak bites for 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized and juicy.
  2. In the same pan, reduce heat and add butter, garlic, red pepper flakes, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until combined.
  3. Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss to coat in the cowboy butter sauce.
  4. Add steak bites back to the pan and toss everything together until warmed through.
  5. Sprinkle with fresh parsley (and Parmesan if desired). Serve hot.

Notes
