Ingredients
- ¾ pound filet mignon
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- ¼ teaspoon granulated onion
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 (9 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 3 portobello mushrooms, quartered
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fat-free half-and-half
- 1 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 pinch grated nutmeg
Instructions
- Season filet mignon on both sides with garlic salt, granulated onion, and pepper. Set aside.
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, set a grill pan over medium high-heat. Melt butter in the hot pan. Add filet and quartered mushrooms. Cook the filet for 3 minutes per side. Cook mushrooms for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove filet, cover, and allow to rest.
- Meanwhile, for the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Push garlic to the side of the pan and stir in flour until smooth. Slowly add half-and-half, stirring until sauce thickens. Stir in Parmesan cheese and nutmeg.
- Cut filet into strips. Distribute tortellini among the plates, drizzle with sauce, and top with steak strips and mushrooms.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the filet mignon.
- If sauce is too thick, add 1 teaspoon half-and-half at a time to thin out sauce, stirring after each addition.
