Sizzling Butter Steak Bites & Alfredo Tortellini

🛒 Ingredients (Check Off As You Measure)

• 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 (20 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. While the tortellini cooks, pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the steak bites in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the garlic to the same skillet. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
5. Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Return the steak bites to the skillet, warm through for 1-2 minutes, then garnish with parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
