Servings: 4
Ready in: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 lb sirloin steak, thinly sliced
• 1 package (20 oz) refrigerated cheese ravioli
• 3 tbsp butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Cook the ravioli: Boil cheese ravioli according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Season the steak: While the pasta cooks, season thinly sliced sirloin steak with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
3. Sear the steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak slices for 2–3 minutes per side until nicely browned and cooked to your preference. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4. Make the garlic butter: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant and golden.
5. Toss the ravioli: Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the garlic butter sauce.
6. Combine and finish: Return the seared steak to the pan. Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and gently stir to combine everything. Allow to heat through for 1–2 minutes.
7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot straight from the skillet.

Variations:

• Creamy Version: Add 1/4 cup heavy cream to the garlic butter before adding the ravioli for a luscious, creamy sauce.
• Mushroom Lovers: Sauté sliced mushrooms in the garlic butter before adding the ravioli for earthy depth.
• Spicy Touch: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili oil for heat.
• Different Cuts: Swap sirloin for flank steak, ribeye, or even leftover grilled steak.

Tips:

• Steak Prep: Let steak sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before searing for even cooking.
• Don’t Overcrowd: Sear steak in batches if needed to avoid steaming and ensure a proper sear.
• Shortcut Option: Use pre-cooked refrigerated steak strips to shave off prep time.
• Make It a Meal: Serve with a crisp green salad or garlic bread for a complete and indulgent dinner.
