Description

This Holiday Steak & Tortellini Skillet is a hearty, flavorful dish featuring seared strip steaks combined with tender cheese tortellini and fresh vegetables. Enhanced with a savory Parmesan Garlic sauce and a touch of garlic butter seasoning, this skillet meal is perfect for a festive, comforting dinner prepared entirely on the stovetop.


Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Seasoning

  • 2 strip steaks
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • Heath Rile’s Garlic Butter Seasoning, to taste

Vegetables

  • 1 sliced onion
  • 1 large zucchini, sliced
  • 10 oz grape tomatoes

Pasta and Sauce

  • 19 oz bag frozen cheese tortellini
  • Water, for boiling tortellini
  • 1/4 cup Buffalo Wild Wing’s Parmesan Garlic sauce
  • Shredded Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the frozen cheese tortellini according to package instructions, typically about 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Steaks: Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the strip steaks generously with Heath Rile’s Garlic Butter Seasoning. Sear the steaks for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust time to desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and zucchini. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the grape tomatoes and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to blister.
  4. Combine and Finish: Add the cooked tortellini back into the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in 1/4 cup of Buffalo Wild Wing’s Parmesan Garlic sauce and stir gently to combine. Slice the rested steaks into thin strips and add them to the skillet. Cook together for 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the sauce to warm through.
  5. Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately for a warm, satisfying skillet meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute the strip steaks with ribeye or sirloin for a different texture and flavor.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add red pepper flakes when sautéing the vegetables.
  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese rather than pre-grated for better melting and flavor.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
