- Prepare the steak tips: Season the steak tips with Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sear in a hot skillet with butter until golden brown on all sides. Add garlic in the last 30 seconds and baste the steak with butter. Set aside to rest.
- Make the Alfredo sauce: In the same skillet, sauté garlic in butter, then add heavy cream, Cajun seasoning, and smoked paprika. Simmer until slightly thickened. Add Velveeta and cream cheese, then mozzarella and Parmesan, stirring until smooth.
- Combine tortellini and sauce: Stir in the cooked tortellini, ensuring each piece is coated. Add reserved pasta water if needed to adjust consistency.
- Serve: Plate the creamy tortellini, top with steak tips, drizzle with pan juices, and garnish with parsley and black pepper.
