- Fresh Parsley to taste (For garnish)
Instructions
- Step 1: Pat dry the sirloin steak cubes and season them generously with salt and black pepper.
- Step 2: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak cubes for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Step 3: In a pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside.
- Step 4: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté until soft and translucent.
- Step 5: Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 6: Pour in the dry white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
- Step 7: Stir in the beef broth and heavy cream. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes until it starts to thicken.
- Step 8: Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts completely and the sauce is smooth.
- Step 9: Return the seared steak and cooked ravioli to the skillet. Toss gently to coat everything evenly in the sauce and heat through for a couple of minutes.
- Step 10: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately while warm.
Tips & Variations
- Use shallots instead of yellow onion for a milder, sweeter flavor.
- Substitute dry white wine with beef broth if you prefer to avoid alcohol.
- For a lighter sauce, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
- Try different ravioli fillings like spinach or mushroom for variation.
- Rest the steak cubes for a few minutes after searing to keep them juicy.
Storage

Instructions
- Prepare the steak: Pat dry the sirloin steak cubes thoroughly with paper towels. Season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to ensure a flavorful crust during searing.

- If you don’t have white wine, use additional beef broth for deglazing.
- Freshly grated Parmesan melts better and offers superior texture and flavor compared to pre-shredded varieties.
- The dish pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables.
