Notes
Storage: Store any leftover Garlic Steak Tortellini in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you plan to keep it longer, consider freezing it in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. To prevent freezer burn, ensure the container is tightly sealed.
Reheating: Reheat the Garlic Steak Tortellini gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of vegetable broth or water to prevent sticking. Alternatively, microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until heated through.
Serving: Serve the dish warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and additional grated Parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor. Pair it with a side salad or crusty bread to complete the meal.
Chef’s Tip: For added flavor, marinate the steak strips in a mixture of olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This enhances the overall taste and tenderness of the steak.
