Tender garlic butter steak bites paired with creamy Alfredo tortellini make for a rich, satisfying dinner that’s both quick and indulgent.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (20 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 2 tbsp butter (for Alfredo sauce)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (for Alfredo sauce)
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste (for Alfredo sauce)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season steak bites with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak bites and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from pan and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 3 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Return steak bites to the pan and toss to coat in the garlic butter. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  7. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer until thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
  8. Add cooked tortellini to the Alfredo sauce and stir to coat evenly.
  9. Serve steak bites on top of the creamy Alfredo tortellini and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Make sure the pan is hot before adding the steak to get a good sear.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook steak in batches if needed.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan for best flavor and texture in the Alfredo sauce.
  • Double the Alfredo sauce if you prefer extra creamy pasta.
