- Cook Steak: Add sliced steak to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes depending on thickness.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic with the steak and cook for 1 minute more, allowing the garlic to soften and release its flavor without burning.

- Choose a tender cut of steak like sirloin or ribeye for optimal results.
- You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
- For a creamy variation, add a splash of heavy cream when combining the tortellini and steak.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
