Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak:

  • 1 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, or NY strip), sliced thin

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp butter

For the Pasta & Sauce:

  • 12 oz pasta (penne, rotini, or fettuccine)

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/4 cup reserved pasta water (as needed)

  • Chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

  2. Sear the steak: While pasta cooks, season steak with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak slices for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and just cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

  3. Make the garlic butter sauce: In the same pan, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant. Stir in ranch seasoning and mix well.

  4. Add cream and cheese: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan until melted. Add mozzarella and stir until creamy.

  5. Toss everything together: Add cooked pasta and sliced steak to the pan. Toss to coat in the sauce. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.

  6. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. Extra cheese on top? Yes, please!

Notes

  • You can use leftover steak or swap in grilled chicken or shrimp.

  • For a spicy kick, add crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.

  • Make it extra indulgent with a drizzle of garlic butter on top before serving.
