1 lb flank steak , thinly sliced against the grain
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic , minced
1 (25 oz) package fresh or frozen cheese ravioli (no need to precook!)
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or Parmesan for a sharper flavor)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper , to taste
Fresh parsley , chopped (for garnish)
Optional Add-Ins : Spinach, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Sear the Steak
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak slices generously with salt and pepper.
Add the steak to the skillet and sear for 2–3 minutes per side , until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds , until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the heavy cream (if using) and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 3: Cook the Ravioli
Add the cheese ravioli to the skillet, submerging them in the sauce. Cover the skillet and cook for 7–10 minutes , stirring occasionally, until the ravioli are tender and cooked through.
Step 4: Add the Cheese
Stir in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Return the steak slices to the skillet, tossing gently to combine.
Step 5: Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Divide into bowls and enjoy this hearty, cheesy, garlicky goodness!
