Ingredients
Steak and Seasoning
- 2 steaks (strip), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 teaspoons steak seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Vegetables
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 2 zucchini, chopped
- 10 ounces grape tomatoes, halved
Pasta and Sauce
- 18 ounces fresh cheese tortellini
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
- ¼ cup Buffalo Wild Wings parmesan garlic sauce
Garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Season Steak: Season the steak bites with steak seasoning and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Cook Steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned steak pieces and cook for 2 minutes without stirring to develop a sear. Stir and continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes until steak is golden brown and cooked through.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add sliced onions, bell peppers, and halved grape tomatoes to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables soften and release their flavors.
- Add Tortellini and Broth: Incorporate the fresh cheese tortellini and pour in the chicken broth. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the tortellini is tender and heated through.
- Finish with Cheese and Sauce: Stir in the shredded parmesan cheese and the parmesan garlic sauce until the mixture is creamy and well blended.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and additional parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh tortellini for the best texture and flavor, but frozen tortellini can substitute if cooked according to package instructions before adding to the skillet.
- Adjust seasoning and parmesan garlic sauce quantity based on your taste preference for spiciness and creaminess.
- Adding zucchini provides a nice balance of freshness and texture—feel free to swap or add other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach.
- For a lower sodium version, use low sodium chicken broth and a reduced-sodium parmesan garlic sauce.
- Make sure the skillet is hot before adding the steak to get a good sear which enhances the flavor.
