Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Tortellini

Step 2: Cook the Steak
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Season the thinly sliced steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

Notes
- Use Thinly Sliced Steak – Ribeye or sirloin works best for tender, flavorful bites.
- Don’t Overcook the Tortellini – Cook just until al dente for the perfect texture.
- Make It Spicy – Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a kick!
- Use Different Cheeses – Try white American cheese or gouda for a unique twist.
