Notes

Use high-quality Parmesan for the best flavor. Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the steak to ensure proper browning. Let the steak rest before slicing to retain its juices. Taste the Alfredo sauce as you go and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. If you have leftovers, they can be stored for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. When reheating, add a splash of cream or milk to the tortellini to help revive the sauce's creaminess.
