Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Steak bites Trimmed and patted dry
- 3 tablespoons Butter Divided, room temperature if possible
- 3 cloves Garlic Minced
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
- 20 oz Cheese tortellini 1 package
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt about 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the steak bites in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked to your liking. Season with salt and pepper while cooking. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3–4 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Add the cooked tortellini to the Alfredo sauce, tossing gently to coat each piece well. Plate the creamy tortellini and top with the garlic butter steak bites. Drizzle any leftover garlic butter from the skillet over the steak for an extra flavor boost. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
Pat the steak bites very dry before searing for the best browning. Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother sauce. Don’t overcook the tortellini; aim for al dente.
