This recipe channels a traditional antipasti salad using mozzarella, tomatoes, olives and artichokes, with the addition of cheese tortellini and sliced steak. Don’t skip out on using the marinade from the jarred artichokes to help boost more flavor in the dressing for this salad.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook as the label directs; drain and set aside. Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes, olives, cucumber, artichokes and reserved marinade and the mozzarella in a large bowl. Add the vinegar, Italian seasoning and 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss well.
  2. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the steak and cook until well browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a cutting board and let rest, 5 minutes. Slice the steak.
  3. Add the scallions and cooked tortellini to the tomato mixture and toss until coated. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with the steak.
