Instructions
- Step 1: Cook the Ravioli Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Cook the cheese ravioli according to package directions until tender. Drain carefully and set aside. Because ravioli is delicate, handle it gently to keep the pasta intact.
- Step 2: Season the Steak Pat the steak dry using paper towels. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Allow the steak to rest for a few minutes while the skillet heats.
- Step 3: Sear the Steak Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak pieces in a single layer. Cook for about 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired
doneness. Transfer the steak to a plate and set aside. The flavorful browned bits left behind will help create a richer sauce. - Step 4: Prepare the Garlic Butter Base Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the shallot and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. The aroma at this stage is one of the highlights of the entire recipe.
- Step 5: Make the Cream Sauce Pour in the heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until smooth and creamy. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Step 6: Add the Ravioli Carefully fold the cooked ravioli into the sauce. Use a gentle hand to avoid tearing the pasta. The sauce should coat each ravioli evenly, creating a silky finish.
- Step 7: Return the Steak Add the steak back into the skillet. Gently stir to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes until everything is warmed through. At this point, the steak absorbs some of the creamy garlic butter flavor while
remaining tender and juicy. - Step 8: Garnish and Serve Sprinkle with fresh parsley and crushed red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately while hot and creamy. This Creamy Garlic Butter Steak & Cheese Ravioli is at its absolute best when
enjoyed fresh from the skillet.
Notes
Refrigerated ravioli cooks quickly and works perfectly in this recipe.
The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
For additional richness, add an extra tablespoon of butter before serving.
Fresh herbs provide the best flavor and presentation.
