Instructions

1. Season both sides of the steaks with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steaks for 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and let rest.

3. In a separate saucepan, melt butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer.

4. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth.

5. Boil tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and add to Alfredo sauce.

6. Slice the rested steak. In the same skillet, melt more butter with garlic and spoon over steak.

7. Plate tortellini and top with steak. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Let the steak rest before slicing to retain its juices.

Use freshly grated Parmesan for best results in the sauce.

Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the Alfredo sauce gets too thick.
