Step 1: Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides generously with Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika to form a flavorful crust.

Step 2: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side, adjusting for your preferred doneness. In the last minute, add 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Tilt the pan and spoon the garlic butter over the steaks. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 3: Meanwhile, boil a pot of salted water. Add tortellini and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 4: In the same skillet used for the steaks, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan and mozzarella, cooking until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne if using.

Step 5: Add cooked tortellini to the sauce and toss gently to coat. Let it simmer for a minute or two to absorb the flavor.

Step 6: Slice the rested steak into strips. Plate over the Alfredo tortellini, then garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy every bold, cheesy bite.
