Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Season steak with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear steak for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in flour to make a roux and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk and beef broth until smooth. Stir in cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, and paprika until creamy.

  3. 3

    Cook tortellini according to package directions, slightly undercooking them. Drain and toss with a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Grease a 9×13″ baking dish. Combine tortellini, seared steak, and cheese sauce in the dish. Stir gently to mix evenly. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.

  5. 5

    Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
