Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (20 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 2 tablespoons butter (for pasta)
- 1½ cups heavy cream
- 4 oz Velveeta, cubed
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cheese tortellini according to package directions. Drain, then toss with 2 tablespoons butter to keep from sticking. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, onion powder, and black pepper.
- Sear the steak on all sides for about 4–5 minutes, until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
- Reduce heat to medium, add 3 tablespoons butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir to coat the steak bites in the garlic butter. Cook for 1 more minute, then remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat. Add Velveeta cubes and stir until melted and smooth.
- Stir in Parmesan, mozzarella, and garlic powder. Let the sauce simmer until thick and creamy, about 4–5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked tortellini into the Alfredo sauce, stirring until every piece is coated in the creamy mixture.
- Plate the dish with the steak bites on one side and the cheesy Alfredo tortellini on the other. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, deglaze the steak pan with a splash of white wine or beef broth before making the Alfredo sauce.
- Use shrimp or chicken instead of steak for a different protein option.
- Top with crispy bacon bits for added texture.
