How to Make One-Skillet Garlic Butter Steak & Cheese Ravioli

Ingredients

• 12 oz cheese ravioli (fresh or refrigerated)
• 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook ravioli according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. You can drizzle a little olive oil on the ravioli to prevent sticking if needed.
2. Season the steak cubes generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak on all sides until golden brown and cooked to your liking. Remove the steak and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 3 tbsp of butter and the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. If you like a bit of heat, add the red pepper flakes.
5. Add the cooked ravioli and steak back into the skillet. Toss gently to coat everything in the garlic butter sauce. Simmer for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
6. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
