Oh yes—this Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Creamy Alfredo Tortellini is a rich, restaurant-style dinner you can make at home without a ton of fuss. Here’s a full recipe:
Ingredients (serves 4)
For the Steak Bites:
- 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2–3 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
For the Creamy Alfredo Tortellini:
- 1 package (9–12 oz) cheese tortellini
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder or 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Cook the tortellini:
- Boil tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Make the Alfredo sauce:
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté garlic (if using fresh).
- Pour in heavy cream and heat until warm.
- Gradually stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toss cooked tortellini in the sauce and keep warm.
3. Cook the steak bites:
- Season steak pieces with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter.
- Add steak in a single layer (do in batches if needed). Sear 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking.
- Add garlic in the last minute of cooking for flavor.
4. Serve:
- Plate creamy Alfredo tortellini and top with garlic butter steak bites.
- Garnish with parsley if desired.
💡 Tips:
- For extra flavor, deglaze the steak pan with a splash of white wine or broth and pour over the steak bites.
- You can also add sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the Alfredo for more veggies.
If you want, I can give a one-pan shortcut version where both steak and tortellini cook together in creamy sauce—super fast and minimal cleanup. Do you want me to do that?
