Instructions
- Cook the Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Season the Steak: Liberally season both sides of the steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
- Sear the Steak: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing.
