Instructions
Step 1
1. Cook the Tortellini
Step 2
Start by boiling your tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside. That’s it. You’re already winning.
Step 3
2. Sear the Garlic Butter Steak Bites - Use a hot pan for the steak. You want that gorgeous sear, not a steam bath.
Step 4
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the steak cubes and season with salt and pepper. Sear each side for about 2–3 minutes until browned and slightly crispy. Add the minced garlic, cook for one more minute, and let that aroma make your kitchen smell like a five-star steakhouse.
Step 5
Set the steak aside—but don’t sneak too many bites. Okay, maybe one.
Step 6
3. Make the Creamy Pesto Alfredo Sauce
Step 7
In a clean pan, mix heavy cream, Parmesan, pesto, garlic powder, and salt over medium heat. Stir gently until it all melts into a dreamy, creamy sauce that smells like Italy itself.
Step 8
4. Toss & Plate
Step 9
Add the cooked tortellini to the sauce and stir until every little pillow is coated. Plate with the steak bites on the side (or mix it all together if you like to live on the edge).
Step 10
Tips: Make it your own. Add sun-dried tomatoes or a handful of spinach to the sauce for extra flair.
