Servings
- 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb steak (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- ½ cup beef broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 cups cheese ravioli (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Sear the Steak
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the steak pieces with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
- Add the steak to the skillet and sear for 3–4 minutes , stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides but not fully cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Garlic Butter Sauce
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and the butter.
- Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds–1 minute , until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to incorporate the flavor.
Step 3: Cook the Ravioli
- Add the cheese ravioli to the skillet, spreading them out evenly in the liquid. Cover the skillet and let the ravioli cook for 5–7 minutes , stirring occasionally, until they are tender and cooked through. If using frozen ravioli, you may need an extra minute or two.
Step 4: Add Cream and Steak
- Stir in the heavy cream and return the seared steak pieces to the skillet.
- Simmer for 2–3 minutes , allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the steak to finish cooking.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet, with extra Parmesan cheese on the side if desired. Pair with crusty bread or a simple salad for a complete meal.
