Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add tortellini and cook according to package instructions, typically for about 3-5 minutes, until al dente. Drain and drizzle with olive oil.
  2. Sear the Steak: Pat the steak dry, season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high, sear steak for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and let rest.
  3. Make the Creamy Tuscan Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter, add minced garlic, sauté for 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and broth, simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  4. Add Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in spinach until wilted (1-2 minutes). If desired, add sun-dried tomatoes.
  5. Combine Tortellini and Steak: Slice steak into bite-sized pieces. Add steak and drained tortellini to skillet, toss gently to coat in sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes to meld flavors.
  6. Serve: Plate the dish and garnish with parsley. Serve hot, ideally with garlic bread or a salad.
