For the Tortellini
  • 24 oz fresh tortellini
  • 8 oz butter
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1.5 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 small lemon zest
  • 0.5 lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
Optional Toppings
  • 1 Grated Parmesan
  • 1 Parsley

Equipment

  • RecTeq Dual Fire Pellet Grill
  • Large saute pan

Method
 

  1. Season your steak with salt, pepper, and garlic. Cook the steak to your desired doneness on the RecTeq Dual Fire Pellet Grill, then set it aside to rest.
  2. In a large saute pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and stir until it becomes fragrant.
  4. Stir in the garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Then, add the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir everything together until combined.
  5. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and dijon mustard to the pan. Stir until the sauce is well combined.
  6. Add the fresh tortellini to the sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  7. Cover the pan and let the tortellini plump up for about 10 minutes. Stir every few minutes to prevent sticking.
  8. Once the steak has rested, cut it into chunks. Add the steak chunks to the tortellini and stir until everything is well coated in the sauce.
  9. Serve the Garlic Steak Tortellini topped with grated Parmesan and parsley, if desired. Enjoy your delicious meal!
