Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
- 1 (9 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 2 tbsp butter (for Alfredo sauce)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (for Alfredo sauce)
- 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
- Cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season steak bites with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Return steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat in garlic butter. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate pan, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until melted and sauce is smooth.
- Season the Alfredo sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked tortellini to the Alfredo sauce and stir to coat.
- Plate the creamy tortellini and top with garlic butter steak bites.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use high-quality Parmesan for a smoother Alfredo sauce.
- Do not overcook the steak to keep it juicy and tender.
- For added flavor, deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine before making the Alfredo sauce.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
