Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to bring this Cracked Garlic Steak Tortellini in Creamhouse Sauce Bliss together perfectly:

  1. Cook the tortellini
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions until tender. Drain well and set aside.
  2. Sear the steak
    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak pieces in a single layer, season with salt and black pepper, and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and juicy. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Build the garlic base
    Lower the heat to medium. Add the butter to the same skillet, then add the cracked garlic cloves. Sauté for 30–45 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  4. Create the Creamhouse sauce
    Pour in the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese, whisking until smooth and creamy.
  5. Season the sauce
    Add the Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer gently for 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Combine everything
    Add the cooked tortellini and seared steak back into the skillet. Toss gently until everything is fully coated in the creamy garlic sauce.
  7. Finish with cheese
    Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and silky. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Serve warm
    Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately while hot and creamy.

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftover Cracked Garlic Steak Tortellini in Creamhouse Sauce Bliss in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

How do I reheat this dish without drying it out?

Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of cream, milk, or beef broth

Absolutely. Cook frozen tortellini according to package instructions before adding it to the sauce. Drain well to prevent watering down the Creamhouse sauce.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

You can prep the steak and sauce components ahead, but this dish tastes best when assembled and served fresh for the creamiest texture.

Can I freeze this recipe?

Cream-based sauces don’t freeze well, so freezing is not recommended. The sauce may separate once thawed.
