One-Skillet Garlic Butter Steak & Cheese Ravioli

Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 lb steak (cut into bite-sized pieces)

2 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

4 cloves garlic (minced)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

½ cup beef broth

½ cup heavy cream

2 cups cheese ravioli (fresh or frozen)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

In a large skillet, I heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Then, I add the steak pieces and season with salt and pepper. I cook the steak for 5-7 minutes, or until it's browned and cooked through. Once done, I remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.

In the same skillet, I melt the butter over medium heat. I add the minced garlic and cook it for 1-2 minutes, until it becomes fragrant.

To the skillet, I add the beef broth, heavy cream, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. I stir everything to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Next, I add the ravioli to the skillet and cook it for 5-7 minutes (or as per the package instructions), until the ravioli is tender and cooked through.

I return the cooked steak to the skillet and toss everything together until evenly mixed.

I sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and stir until the cheese melts, making the sauce creamy and smooth.

To finish, I garnish the dish with fresh parsley and serve it immediately for the best flavor.

Variations

If you want to switch things up, here are some variations you can try:

Vegetarian option: Swap out the steak for mushrooms or plant-based protein to create a vegetarian version of this dish.

Spicy kick: Add some red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeño when cooking the garlic for an extra kick of spice.

Different ravioli: If cheese ravioli isn't your favorite, try a different filling, like spinach and ricotta, or even butternut squash ravioli for a seasonal twist.

Add vegetables: You can toss in some sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini for an extra burst of veggies in the dish.

Storage/Reheating

I recommend storing any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to enjoy it again, simply reheat the dish in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of beef broth or cream to help bring back the creamy texture. You can also reheat it in the microwave, but be sure to cover it with a damp paper towel to prevent it from drying out.

FAQs

Can I use frozen steak for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen steak, but be sure to thaw it properly in the refrigerator before cooking. This ensures even cooking and a tender texture.

What kind of steak is best for this dish?

I like using a tender cut of steak such as sirloin, ribeye, or flank steak. These cuts cook quickly and stay tender when cut into bite-sized pieces.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

While the ravioli and steak should ideally be cooked fresh, you can prep the ingredients ahead of time. Chop the steak, mince the garlic, and measure out the other ingredients so that when you're ready to cook, it all comes together quickly.

Can I substitute the beef broth with chicken broth?

If you don’t have beef broth on hand, chicken broth is a good substitute. It will slightly change the flavor, but the dish will still be delicious.

Can I use frozen ravioli for this recipe?

Yes, frozen ravioli works just as well as fresh. Just be sure to follow the package instructions for cooking times since they may vary slightly from fresh ravioli.

Conclusion

This One-Skillet Garlic Butter Steak & Cheese Ravioli is the perfect meal for busy weeknights when I want something quick, comforting, and packed with flavor.
