One-Skillet Garlic Butter Steak & Cheese Ravioli
Ingredients:
1 lb steak (cut into bite-sized pieces)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tbsp tomato paste (adds richness + subtle orange color)
1/2 tsp smoked paprika (for color and depth)
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 cups cheese ravioli (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
1. Cook the Steak: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
2. Sauté the Garlic and Herbs: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and rosemary. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Make the Sauce: Add the tomato paste and smoked paprika to the skillet. Stir well to combine, allowing the tomato paste to cook for another minute. Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.
4. Cook the Ravioli: Add the cheese ravioli to the skillet and cook according to package instructions (usually about 4-5 minutes for fresh ravioli, or 6-7 minutes for frozen ravioli), stirring occasionally to ensure the ravioli cooks evenly.
5. Finish the Dish: Once the ravioli is cooked and the sauce has thickened, add the cooked steak back into the skillet. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and let it melt into the sauce, creating a creamy consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
6. Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
