Method
Preparation
- Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface (3-5 minutes for fresh tortellini and 5-7 minutes for frozen). Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the sirloin steak with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired doneness. Remove the steak and let it rest before slicing it thinly.
- In the same skillet, add cracked garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens.
- Toss the cooked tortellini in the sauce until well coated. Add the sliced steak, mixing gently to combine everything.
- Divide the dish into bowls, garnishing with fresh parsley and an additional sprinkle of parmesan cheese as desired.
Notes
For a Halal-friendly alternative, consider using grilled chicken or roasted vegetables instead of steak. Ensure tortellini is cooked al dente to avoid overcooking. Avoid cooking garlic too long to prevent bitterness.
