Ingredients
- 8 oz of beef chuck, cubed
- 12 oz of cheese tortellini, cooked according to package instructions
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/2 cup of diced onion
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of dried basil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Directions
- 1
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes. The key here is to cook the onions slowly enough to bring out their sweetness without burning the garlic.

Return the browned beef to the skillet. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the dried basil and half of the grated Parmesan, simmering until the sauce thickens slightly, about 4-5 minutes. This step is crucial to infuse the beef with the rich, creamy flavors.

Toss the cooked tortellini into the skillet, mixing thoroughly to coat each piece with the creamy sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the tortellini and beef hot, sprinkled with the remaining Parmesan and fresh parsley. The fresh parsley not only adds a pop of color but also a fresh, herby flavor that complements the richness of the dish.
