Garlic Butter Steak Bites & Creamy Alfredo Tortellini
Ingredients:
For the Steak Bites:
1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Tortellini Alfredo:
10 oz cheese tortellini
1 tbsp butter
1 cup heavy cream
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions:
In a large pot, cook the tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Pat the steak pieces dry and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in red pepper flakes if using.
Return steak to the skillet and toss in the garlic butter until well coated. Remove from heat.
In another skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook briefly, then pour in the heavy cream and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Add cooked tortellini to the Alfredo sauce and stir to coat.
Plate the pasta and top with steak bites. Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
