Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the top sirloin with salt and black pepper, making sure to coat it evenly.

In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to create a garlic paste. Rub the garlic paste all over the top sirloin, making sure to coat it evenly.

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the garlic crusted top sirloin for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until a nice crust forms. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the sirloin reaches your desired level of doneness.

While the sirloin is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions until they float to the surface. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining the tortellini.

In the same skillet used for the sirloin, add the sliced mushrooms and cook over medium heat until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 3-4 minutes. Add the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Reduce the cream sauce by half, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Stir in the grated grana padano cheese until melted and smooth. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

To serve, slice the garlic crusted top sirloin against the grain. Place a portion of tortellini on each plate, followed by a slice of sirloin. Spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over the top and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to thin it out. Serve immediately and enjoy!
