Steak Tortellini Skillet Quick and Flavorful Meal
Ingredients
- 8 oz cheese tortellini
- 1 lb flank steak, sliced thinly
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- to taste salt and pepper
- for garnish fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the sliced flank steak with salt and pepper.
- Add the steak to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes, or until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release the browned bits.
- Add the cheese tortellini and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring gently until the tortellini is tender and cooked through.
- Stir in the baby spinach, cooking until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Return the seared steak to the skillet and toss to combine everything together. Allow to heat through for another minute.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and mix well until melted and combined.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
