  • 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 cups 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 sauté pan

Method
 

  1. Season your steak with salt, pepper, and garlic. Cook the steak to your desired temperature 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. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then stir until combined.
  5. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and dijon mustard to the sauce. Stir well to incorporate.
  6. Add the fresh tortellini to the simmering sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  7. Cover the pan and let the tortellini plump up for about 10 minutes, stirring 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 fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
