Ingredients

1 lb beef sirloin or stew meat, cut into small cubes

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

1/2 cup beef broth

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

9 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

Grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef cubes and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add butter, garlic, and red pepper flakes to the same skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in beef broth, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits. Stir in heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Simmer gently.
Add the cheese tortellini to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until tender.
Return beef to the pan, add spinach, and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm with grated Parmesan.
