Ingredients
Steak and Ravioli
- 12 oz cheese ravioli
- 8 oz steak, cut into cubes
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Sauce
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
- 1 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese ravioli and cook until al dente, about 3-4 minutes. Drain well and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil to prevent sticking, then set aside.
- Season Steak: Pat the steak cubes dry and season evenly with salt and black pepper.
- Sear Steak: Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak cubes and sear until golden brown and cooked to your preferred doneness, about 3-5 minutes depending on size. Remove the steak from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Garlic: Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet and melt. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, careful not to burn.
- Make Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes if using. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked steak and ravioli to the skillet. Gently toss to coat everything in the garlic butter cream sauce.
- Finish and Serve: Simmer everything together for 1-2 more minutes to meld flavors. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen ravioli; adjust cooking time accordingly.
- For a spicier dish, increase the red pepper flakes to taste.
- Be careful not to overcook the steak to maintain tenderness.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half, though sauce will be less rich.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or chives for extra flavor.
