Ingredients
– 2 strip steaks
– 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
– 1 onion, sliced
– 1 large zucchini, cut into smaller pieces
– 10 ounces grape tomatoes
– 19 ounces frozen cheese tortellini
– 1/4 to 1/2 cup water
– 1/4 cup Parmesan garlic sauce
– Shredded Parmesan cheese
– Garlic butter seasoning
Instructions
1-First Step: Prep the ingredients Start by cutting the 2 strip steaks into cubes. Slice the onion and cut the large zucchini into smaller pieces. Rinse the grape tomatoes if needed, and keep the frozen cheese tortellini nearby so you can add it when the griddle is ready. This prep takes about 10 minutes and sets you up for a smooth cook.
2-Second Step: Heat the griddle Set your griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil or olive oil and let it warm up. You want the surface hot enough to sear the steak and soften the vegetables, but not so hot that the garlic butter seasoning burns too quickly.
3-Third Step: Cook the vegetables first Add the sliced onion, zucchini, and grape tomatoes to the griddle. Sprinkle them with garlic butter seasoning. Stir them around so they get coated and start to soften. The vegetables should cook for a few minutes before you add the steak, which helps them pick up flavor from the oil and seasoning.
4-Fourth Step: Add the steak cubes Place the steak cubes onto the griddle with the vegetables. Season them with garlic butter seasoning as well. Let the steak cook until browned on the outside and cooked to your liking. Stir occasionally so the pieces cook evenly. If you like your steak medium-rare, remove it a little earlier. If you prefer it more done, keep cooking until it reaches your favorite level of doneness.
5-Fifth Step: Add the tortellini and water Spread the frozen cheese tortellini onto the griddle. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water, then cover everything with a griddle dome. The steam will help the tortellini become tender. Let it cook for 3 to 5 minutes, checking for softness. Frozen tortellini usually needs the full time, while refrigerated tortellini may finish faster.
6-Sixth Step: Stir in the sauce Once the tortellini is tender, stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan garlic sauce. Mix gently so the pasta gets coated without breaking apart. After that, remove the tortellini from the griddle and set it aside while the vegetables and steak finish cooking.
7-Seventh Step: Finish the steak and vegetables Keep stirring the veggies and steak until they are cooked to your preference. The onions should look softened, the zucchini should be tender but not mushy, and the steak should be browned and juicy. If the pan looks dry, a tiny splash of water can help loosen the browned bits.
8-Final Step: Serve and top with Parmesan Spoon the tortellini onto plates or into bowls, then add the steak and vegetables on top or alongside it. Finish with shredded Parmesan cheese for a salty, cheesy touch. Serve right away while everything is warm and saucy.
