Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb sirloin steak or steak tips, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk (whole milk or 2%)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 package (20 oz) cheese tortellini, fresh or refrigerated
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the steak with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the steak until browned; remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in flour to create a roux, then gradually whisk in milk and beef broth until smooth. Incorporate cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
- Cook the tortellini according to package instructions but slightly undercook them. Drain and toss with olive oil.
- Grease a baking dish with olive oil or butter. Combine cooked tortellini with seared steak and pour the cheese sauce over everything. Mix gently and top with mozzarella.
- Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and golden. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
