Fresh cheese tortellini: Offers a delightful cheesy flavor and a chewy texture. Fresh tortellini is ideal.

How to Make Steak and Cheese Tortellini

For more detailed instructions with weights and measurements, jump to the printable recipe card.

Season steak: Season the steak bites with your chosen seasoning and set them aside to let the flavors meld.
Sear the steak: Cook the steak bites in olive oil. Then, stir and continue cooking for 2 minutes or until golden brown.
Add vegetables: Add sliced onions, bell peppers, and halved tomatoes to the skillet. Stir well and cook until tender.
Cook the tortellini: Add the fresh cheese tortellini and chicken broth to the skillet. Cover and cook until tender.

Substitutions and Variations

Steak bites: Try using chicken breast or tofu, cut into bite-sized pieces. Adjust the cooking time.
Cheese tortellini: Swap with spinach and ricotta tortellini or any other pasta, like penne or fusilli.
Chicken broth: Vegetable or beef broth can be used as alternatives to add different flavors.
Parmesan cheese: Romano cheese or a blend of Italian cheeses can replace parmesan.
Parmesan garlic sauce: You can use a different garlic sauce or even a homemade garlic cream sauce. The Buffalo Wild Wings one is really tasty though. Not a garlic fan especially? Sub basil pesto.
Spice: Add red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce.
Herb blend: Play around with different herbs like basil, thyme, or rosemary.
Creamy version: Stir in a splash of cream or a dollop of sour cream for a richer, creamier sauce.

Serving Suggestions

Appetizer: Start with something fresh like this green goddess salad or my marinated feta and olives.
Main: Serve your steak alfredo tortellini with garlic bread and a light side salad.
Dessert: End off with an Italian classic like this limoncello bundt cake or something simpler like a classic Italian choc-filled cookies.

How to Store Garlic Parm Tortellini with Steak

Store: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Wrap the dish tightly in plastic wrap or foil before freezing. It will keep well for up to 3 months.
Thaw: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight to ensure even defrosting and to maintain the best texture.
Reheat: Reheat thawed steak and tortellini in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, or in the microwave until warmed through. Add a splash of broth or water if needed to restore moisture.

Top Tips

Don’t overcrowd the pot: Cook steak bites and vegetables in batches if necessary to ensure they sear properly and don’t steam. This helps achieve a better texture and flavor.
Use fresh tortellini: Choose fresh cheese tortellini for the best texture and taste. If using frozen tortellini, adjust the cooking time according to the package instructions.
Deglaze the pan: After cooking the steak and vegetables, deglaze the pan with a splash of chicken broth before adding the tortellini. This helps incorporate any browned bits into the sauce for added flavor.
Adjust seasonings: Taste and adjust seasonings as you cook.
