Ingredient Highlights:

- Garlic Butter: This sauce is the heart of the recipe, combining the savory richness of butter with aromatic garlic and fresh herbs to elevate the flavors.
Instructions
1. Prepare the Steak:
- Season the Steaks: Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Sear the Steak: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until a golden-brown crust forms and the steaks are cooked to your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer for best results: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
- Add Garlic and Butter: Once the steaks are done, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, minced garlic, and thyme to the pan. Spoon the melted garlic butter over the steaks for 1-2 minutes to infuse them with flavor.
- Rest the Steak: Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.
2. Cook the Ravioli:
- Boil the Ravioli: In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to the package instructions (typically 3-5 minutes for fresh ravioli, longer for frozen).
- Drain the Ravioli: Once the ravioli is cooked, drain it, reserving ¼ cup of the pasta cooking water.
3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet used for the steak, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Broth and Lemon Juice: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and lemon juice (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly and thicken.
- Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Combine and Serve:
- Add Ravioli to the Skillet: Gently add the cooked ravioli to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce. Toss to coat the ravioli in the sauce, adding a little bit of the reserved pasta cooking water if necessary to loosen the sauce.
- Add the Steak: Arrange the sliced steak on top of the ravioli or gently toss it into the skillet with the pasta.
- Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately. Enjoy the tender steak, creamy ravioli, and rich garlic butter sauce in every bite.
