Ingredients

1 lb steak (ribeye, New York strip, or sirloin)

9 oz cheese tortellini

1 cup heavy cream

¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 cloves garlic, minced

4 tbsp butter

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Pat steak dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear steak for 3–4 minutes per side.

3. During the final minute of cooking, add 2 tbsp butter and 2 crushed garlic cloves to baste the steak.

4. Remove steak and let it rest for 5 minutes.

5. Cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

6. In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter and sauté the remaining minced garlic until fragrant.

7. Add heavy cream and bring to a low simmer, then stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

8. Toss cooked tortellini in the Alfredo sauce until well coated.

9. Slice the rested steak against the grain.

10. Plate tortellini and top with sliced steak. Garnish with parsley and black pepper.

Notes

Let the steak rest before slicing to keep it juicy.

Add a splash of pasta water if the Alfredo thickens too much during tossing.
