Description

A rich and savory pasta dish made with tender steak slices, creamy ranch-seasoned sauce, and melty mozzarella, all tossed in garlic butter pasta for a comforting and flavorful meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 12 oz pasta (fettuccine or penne)
  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season sliced steak with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and sear until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add heavy cream, beef broth, and ranch seasoning. Stir and bring to a simmer.
  6. Stir in mozzarella cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  7. Add cooked pasta and steak to the skillet. Toss everything together until well coated.
  8. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  9. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer for perfect steak doneness—medium-rare is 135°F (57°C).
  • Swap mozzarella with provolone or Monterey Jack for a flavor twist.
  • Add spinach or mushrooms for extra veggies.
