Equipment
- Large pot
- Colander or strainer
- Large skillet or sauté pan
- Sharp knife
- Cutting Board
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Measuring cup
- Tongs or spoon for stirring
Ingredients
- 1 lb Steak of choice cut bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoon Kinders Cowboy Butter Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning (or cajun seasoning)
- 1-1.5 lb Tortellini
- ½ cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Minced Garlic
- 6 tablespoon Salted Butter
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
- ½ cup Pasta Water reserved from tortellini
Instructions
- First, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook until tender according to the package instructions. Before draining, reserve ½ cup of the pasta water. Then drain the rest and set the tortellini and reserved pasta water aside.
- Next, prepare the steak. Cut the steak into bite sized pieces. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter and minced garlic, then cook until fragrant. Add the steak bites and sear them until fully cooked and nicely browned.
- Then add the flavor. Sprinkle in the Cowboy Butter and Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning. Stir well so the steak absorbs all the seasoning.
- Now build the sauce and bring everything together. Pour in the reserved pasta water and heavy cream, then stir until smooth. Add the cooked tortellini and shredded mozzarella, and mix until everything becomes creamy and well combined.
- Finally, serve and enjoy! Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top if you want extra flavor and a little heat.
