Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 12 ounces (340 grams) cheese ravioli, fresh or frozen
Dairy and Seasoning:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Spices and Liquids:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 cup beef broth
Instructions
- Prepare cheese ravioli according to package directions, then drain and reserve.
- Preheat large skillet to medium-high heat with olive oil. Sear steak bites seasoned with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer steak from skillet and set aside.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium and melt butter. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing until aromatic, approximately 1 minute.
- Create sauce by introducing beef broth and heavy cream, whisking together. Simmer mixture for 2-3 minutes until sauce slightly thickens and reduces.
- Return cooked ravioli and seared steak to skillet, gently tossing to thoroughly coat with garlic butter sauce.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over dish, stirring until cheese melts and creates a creamy consistency.
- Finish by garnishing with fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Choose a tender cut like sirloin or ribeye for the most succulent steak bites that melt in your mouth.
- Pat the steak dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect golden-brown sear and maximum flavor development.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk to reduce calories without sacrificing creaminess.
- Experiment with different cheese ravioli varieties like spinach or quattro formaggi to add extra depth and complexity to the dish.
