Scale

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • pounds sirloin steak (cut into bite-sized cubes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Alfredo Tortellini:

  • 1 (20-ounce) package cheese tortellini (fresh or refrigerated)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened, cut into cubes)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package directions until just tender. Drain and set aside while you prepare the sauce and steak.

Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 3: Add the cream cheese and whisk until smooth. Stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan until the sauce thickens and turns glossy. Season with salt and pepper, then toss in the cooked tortellini so it’s fully coated. Reduce the heat to low to keep warm.

Step 4: Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels to help them sear properly. Season generously with Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5: Heat another skillet over medium-high and add the olive oil. Sear the steak cubes in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden with crisp edges. Transfer to a plate as they finish..

Step 6: Reduce the heat to medium, then add the remaining butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Return the steak bites to the pan and toss them in the garlic butter until evenly coated.

Step 7: Plate by scooping the creamy Alfredo tortellini on one side and the garlic butter steak bites on the other. Spoon over any extra pan sauce and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
