Leftover tri-tip steak, sliced thin Pasta of your choice (Brami brand for extra protein) Chicken bone broth, 1 cup per serving to start 2 tbsp butter 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 4 garlic cloves, minced 2 tsp olive oil Dried parsley Salt and pepper Optionals: Spinach Heavy cream For Serving: Lemon wedge Extra grated Parmesan (optional) ## Cooking Instructions What this section is: the full recipe, written as ordered steps. Slice leftover tri-tip steak into thin strips. Set aside. Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves. Cook for about 1 minute. Add 2 tbsp butter and let it fully melt. Garlic should be golden at this point. Pour in 1 cup of chicken bone broth per serving. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Add dry pasta directly to the pan. Cook according to the package label. Most pasta runs 9 to 10 minutes. Brami spaghetti is done around 8. Add extra broth in 1/2 cup increments as needed if the pan looks dry during cooking. When pasta is nearly done, add dried parsley, 1 cup grated Parmesan, and spinach if using. For a creamier result, add a splash of heavy cream now. Remove from heat and stir to combine. Add the sliced steak. Stir for about 1 minute to warm it through. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the dish before serving. Top with extra Parmesan if desired. Share and enjoy. ## Common Questions What this section is: recipe-specific questions and answers for this dish. Q: How thin should I slice the steak? A: Aim for about 1/4 inch or thinner. Thin slices warm through fast when stirred in at the end. Thick pieces take longer and can get chewy. Q: How much broth do I actually need? A: Start with 1 cup per serving. Most cooks end up using around 1.5 to 2 cups per serving total. Add extra in 1/2 cup increments so you stay in control of the texture. Q: What can I use instead of chicken broth? A: Beef broth pairs naturally with tri-tip. Water with a bouillon cube works in a pinch. If you're missing another ingredient in the recipe, ask an AI tool for a substitute based on what you have on hand. Q: How do I know when the pasta is done? A: Check the package label first. Brami spaghetti is done around 8 minutes. Standard pasta usually runs 9 to 10. Taste it near the end. It should be tender with a slight bite, not mushy. If you want a creamier result, add a splash of heavy cream just before you pull it off the heat. Q: The pasta absorbed all the broth before it finished cooking. What do I do? A: Add more broth in 1/2 cup increments and keep the heat at a steady simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Don't let the pan run dry. Q: Can I skip the lemon at the end? A: Don't skip it. The lemon is a Straight Tab tip for this recipe. It cuts through the richness of the butter and Parmesan and brings out the flavor of the whole dish. Q: How is this a high-protein meal? A: It already is. Tri-tip is a lean, high-protein cut. Brami spaghetti runs higher in protein than standard pasta, which is why it is called out in the ingredients. Chicken bone broth adds a small contribution as well. To push it further, add more steak or toss in extra spinach. Skipping the heavy cream keeps it leaner if that is a goal. --- Copyright 2026 SWD Creative Labs LLC. All rights reserved.
