Description
A delicious combination of garlic butter steak bites paired with creamy Alfredo tortellini, perfect for a savory meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ lb steak bites cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tbsp butter for searing steak
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 20 oz cheese tortellini refrigerated or frozen; cook per package directions
- 2 tbsp butter for Alfredo sauce
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups Parmesan cheese grated
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
- Add the steak bites and sear for 2–3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet (wipe clean if needed), melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan and cook, stirring, until the sauce is smooth and thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss the cooked tortellini with the Alfredo sauce until evenly coated. Plate the tortellini and top with the seared steak bites. Drizzle any garlic butter from the pan over the top for extra flavor.
Notes
- Adjust seasoning as needed based on your taste.
- For a little kick, add crushed red pepper flakes to the Alfredo sauce.
- This dish can be served with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
