What Kind of Steak Should I Use?

For this recipe, a cut that sears well and stays tender is key. Ribeye, sirloin, or New York strip are excellent choices. These cuts have just enough marbling to create flavor-packed bites and hold up beautifully against the creamy sauce. Always bring your steak to room temperature before cooking for the best sear and juiciness.

Ingredients for the Garlic Butter Steak with Cheesy Alfredo Tortellini Bliss

Steak: The protein hero of the dish, bringing a savory depth that contrasts the creamy pasta.

Tortellini: Choose cheese-filled tortellini for the ultimate gooey bite. It cooks quickly and absorbs the sauce like a dream.

Heavy Cream: Creates the rich, velvety base for your Alfredo sauce.

Parmesan Cheese: Adds saltiness and sharp nutty flavor, the hallmark of any good Alfredo.

Garlic: Minced fresh garlic is essential for a bold aromatic kick that infuses the steak and the sauce.

Butter: Used for searing the steak and finishing the Alfredo sauce, it adds richness and a silky finish.

Olive Oil: Helps achieve that beautiful steak sear without burning the butter.

Salt and Pepper: The fundamentals for seasoning both steak and sauce to perfection.

Fresh Parsley: Brings freshness and color to the finished plate.

How To Make the Garlic Butter Steak with Cheesy Alfredo Tortellini Bliss

Step 1: Season and Sear the Steak

Generously season both sides of your steak with salt and pepper. In a hot skillet with olive oil and butter, sear the steak on each side for 3-4 minutes (depending on thickness) until a golden-brown crust forms. Add minced garlic and spoon the melted butter over the steak as it finishes cooking. Let the steak rest.

Step 2: Cook the Tortellini

While the steak rests, bring salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce

In the same skillet used for the steak, melt butter and add more minced garlic. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Combine and Serve

Toss the cooked tortellini in the Alfredo sauce until fully coated. Slice the rested steak and lay it over the pasta. Garnish with chopped parsley and freshly cracked pepper.

Serving and Storing Garlic Butter Steak with Cheesy Alfredo Tortellini Bliss

Serve immediately while the steak is juicy and the Alfredo sauce is silky smooth. For leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream or milk to loosen the sauce.
