Ingredients
1 lb sirloin steak, cubed
9 oz cheese tortellini
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Chop the steak into bite-sized cubes and season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mince garlic.
2. Bring a pot of salted water to boil and cook tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
3. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high. Sear the steak cubes for 3–4 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
4. Lower heat and melt butter in the same skillet. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Return steak to skillet and toss in garlic butter.
5. In a saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium-low. Stir in Parmesan until melted and creamy. Season to taste.
6. Fold tortellini into the Alfredo sauce until evenly coated.
7. Serve steak alongside or on top of the Alfredo tortellini. Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
Notes
Make sure your skillet is hot before searing to get a perfect crust on the steak.
Stir Alfredo sauce constantly to prevent the cream from separating.
You can use fresh or refrigerated tortellini for best results—avoid dry shelf-stable versions.
