Description

A quick and flavorful weeknight meal featuring a perfectly seared Cajun-seasoned steak served with creamy, cheesy Alfredo tortellini.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sirloin steak, 1-inch thick
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 9 oz cheese tortellini
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak dry and season both sides with Cajun seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from skillet and let rest.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. Slowly stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Simmer gently for 2 minutes, then reduce heat to low and stir until smooth.
  6. Cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain.
  7. Add the cooked tortellini to the Alfredo sauce and toss to coat.
  8. Slice the rested steak against the grain.
  9. Serve the sliced Cajun garlic butter steak over the cheesy Alfredo tortellini. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For less spice, reduce the amount of Cajun seasoning.
  • If heavy cream is unavailable, half-and-half can be used, but simmer longer to thicken.
  • Portobello mushrooms can be substituted for steak for a vegetarian option.
  • Use gluten-free tortellini for a gluten-free version.
  • Fresh garlic is recommended for the best flavor in the sauce.
  • Reserve some pasta water to thin the sauce if needed.
  • Slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  • Cook the sauce over low heat to prevent the cheese from clumping.
