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

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the sliced flank steak with salt and pepper.
2. 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.
3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release the browned bits.
5. 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.
6. Stir in the baby spinach, cooking until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
7. Return the seared steak to the skillet and toss to combine everything together. Allow to heat through for another minute.
8. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and mix well until melted and combined.
9. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
