Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), seasoned with salt and pepper
Pasta
- 1 package cheese ravioli (typically 9-12 oz)
Sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Cook the steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper. Place it in the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside to rest, allowing the juices to redistribute.
- Make the sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn it. Pour in the beef broth, then stir in dried thyme and rosemary. Combine well to create a savory herb-infused garlic butter sauce.
- Cook the ravioli: Add the cheese ravioli directly into the skillet with the sauce. Cook according to the package instructions, usually around 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The ravioli will absorb the flavors of the garlic butter sauce and become tender.
- Finish the dish: Slice the rested steak into thin strips. Return these steak slices to the skillet, gently tossing them together with the ravioli and sauce to combine all flavors. Remove from heat and garnish generously with freshly chopped parsley before serving hot.
Notes
- Letting the steak rest after cooking ensures it stays juicy and flavorful.
- Use fresh herbs if available for a brighter taste, but dried works well too.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when cooking garlic.
- Feel free to substitute beef broth with chicken or vegetable broth if desired.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
