Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs steak bites
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 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 minced garlic and cook for 30 to 45 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to brown it.
  2. Add the steak bites in a single layer. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until browned and cooked to your liking.
  3. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in grated Parmesan until melted and smooth. Add reserved pasta water if sauce is too thick.
  6. Combine tortellini with Alfredo sauce, tossing gently to coat. Serve hot alongside garlic butter steak bites.

Notes

Let the skillet get hot for a good sear. Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor. If the sauce thickens, stir in reserved pasta water.
