A rich, creamy dish featuring tender steak bites and cheese tortellini in a flavorful Tuscan garlic cream sauce, packed with fresh spinach and bell peppers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (yellow and red)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 package (250g) refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1/4 cup reserved pasta water (if needed)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season steak cubes with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Sear steak until browned on all sides (about 3–4 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt butter. Sauté garlic and sliced bell peppers until fragrant and slightly soft. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Pour in cream, add Parmesan and red pepper flakes. Stir until melted and smooth.
  4. Meanwhile, cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain and reserve 1/4 cup pasta water.
  5. Add cooked tortellini and steak bites to the sauce. Toss to coat, adding pasta water to thin if needed. Simmer 2–3 minutes to blend flavors.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Serve with warm garlic bread or roasted asparagus.
  • Pair with a cucumber tomato salad for freshness.
  • Add extra spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for Tuscan flair.
  • Use chicken or shrimp instead of steak for variation.
  • Swap cream for coconut cream to lighten it up.
  • Make it gluten-free with GF tortellini and starch-thickened sauce.
