Tender seared steak bites paired with creamy cheese tortellini in a luxurious Parmesan Alfredo sauce, perfect for a cozy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs steak bites
  • 3 tbsp butter (for the steak)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (20 oz) package cheese tortellini
  • 2 tbsp butter (for Alfredo sauce)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 to 45 seconds until fragrant without browning.
  2. Add the steak bites in a single layer. Cook undisturbed until the bottoms brown, about 2 to 3 minutes, then stir or flip and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until browned and cooked to your liking.
  3. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Before draining, reserve a splash of pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
  4. Drain and set the tortellini aside.
  5. For the Alfredo sauce, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the 2 cups of heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan until the sauce is smooth.
  7. Combine the drained tortellini with the Alfredo sauce, tossing gently to coat each piece. Serve on warm plates and top with the garlic butter steak bites.

Notes

Pat steak dry before cooking for better browning. Store leftovers for up to 3 days and reheat gently with a splash of reserved pasta water.
