Method
 

Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add cheese-filled tortellini and cook according to package instructions for about 9 minutes. Drain and drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add 2-3 crushed garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds. Sear beef chunks for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and cooked to preference. Remove from skillet.
  3. Using the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring gently. Gradually mix in 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper, simmering to thicken.
  4. Gently fold the cooked tortellini into the Alfredo sauce, ensuring they are well-coated. Let sit for 1-2 minutes to absorb flavors, stirring occasionally.
  5. Plate creamy Alfredo tortellini and top with sizzling steak bites. Drizzle with remaining garlic butter and garnish with parsley or more Parmesan.
