Ingredients
Steak Seasoning
- 2 lbs sirloin steak cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp butter divided
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
Ravioli and Alfredo Sauce
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 20 oz refrigerated cheese ravioli
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup reserved pasta water
- fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Pat the 2 lbs of sirloin steak bites dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle evenly with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak bites in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove to a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the 20 oz package of refrigerated cheese ravioli and enough water to cover. Boil for 4-5 minutes or until tender, per package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water before draining.
- Lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tbsp butter and 4 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt.
- Pour in 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Add reserved pasta water as needed to adjust consistency.
- Return the steak bites and cooked ravioli to the skillet. Gently toss to coat everything in the creamy Alfredo sauce. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish. Serve hot.
Notes
For best results, don’t overcrowd the pan when searing steak to avoid steaming. Use fresh garlic alongside garlic powder for a deeper flavor. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the Alfredo sauce thickens too much.
