Prep Time & Cook Time

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes – Quick chopping and boiling.
  • Cook Time: 15-20 minutes – Fast searing and simmering.
  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes – Dinner’s on the table in a flash!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s make this One-Skillet Garlic Butter Steak & Ravioli with ease—here’s how:

  1. Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese ravioli and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sear the Steak: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak pieces with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness (medium-rare, medium, etc.). Remove the steak to a plate and set aside.
  3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant and golden—don’t let it burn!
  4. Create the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the beef broth, heavy cream, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and smells irresistible.
  5. Combine Everything: Add the cooked ravioli and seared steak back into the skillet. Toss gently to coat everything in that luscious garlic butter sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and a little extra Parmesan cheese. Serve hot right from the skillet!

Tips & Tricks

Elevate this dish with these simple pointers:

  • Steak Doneness: For medium-rare, aim for an internal temp of 135°F (57°C)—use a meat thermometer if you’re unsure.
  • Ravioli Prep: If using frozen ravioli, no need to thaw—just add a minute or two to the cooking time.
  • Spice It Up: Double the red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Cheese Swap: Try Asiago or Pecorino Romano instead of Parmesan for a different flavor twist.
  • Add Veggies: Toss in spinach or mushrooms with the sauce for a nutrient boost.

Serving Suggestions

This skillet meal is plenty on its own, but these sides make it a feast:

  • Garlic Bread: Crusty bread to soak up that creamy sauce—yum!
  • Caesar Salad: A crisp, tangy salad to balance the richness.
  • Roasted Asparagus: Simple roasted veggies for a pop of green.
  • Red Wine: A glass of Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with the steak.

Storage & Reheating

Here’s how to enjoy leftovers (if there are any!):

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Warm in a skillet over low heat with a splash of broth or cream to loosen the sauce, about 5-7 minutes. Or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until hot.
  • Freezing: Not ideal—the cream sauce may separate, and ravioli can get mushy. If you must, freeze for up to 1 month and thaw overnight before reheating gently.
