Garlic Butter Steak Bites & Creamy Alfredo Tortellini

Print Recipe

Indulgent garlic butter steak bites paired with creamy Alfredo tortellini create a comforting and satisfying meal perfect for any weeknight.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs steak bites
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (20 oz) package cheese tortellini
  • 2 tbsp butter (for Alfredo sauce)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter melts and begins to foam, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 to 45 seconds, stirring constantly until fragrant.
  2. Add the steak bites to the skillet in a single layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked to your liking, about 3 to 5 minutes depending on thickness.
  3. Meanwhile, bring a separate pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  4. For the Alfredo sauce, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat, pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan until melted and smooth. If too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
  6. Combine the drained tortellini with the Alfredo sauce, tossing gently to coat. Serve the creamy tortellini alongside the garlic butter steak bites on warm plates.

Notes

Pat steak bites dry before cooking for a better sear and use reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce without watering it down.
