Here is a streamlined way to pull this indulgent dish together:

The Ingredients

Steak: Ribeye or Sirloin, cut into bite-sized cubes.

Pasta: Rigatoni or Penne (the ridges hold the sauce beautifully).

The Sauce: Heavy cream, garlic butter, dry ranch seasoning, and freshly grated Parmesan.

The Melty Bit: Shredded mozzarella and fresh parsley for garnish.

Preparation Steps

Sear the Steak: Season the steak cubes with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over high heat, sear them in a bit of oil until browned and crusty. Remove and set aside.

Make the Garlic Butter Base: In the same skillet, melt a generous knob of butter. Sauté 3-4 cloves of minced garlic until fragrant (don't let them burn!).

Build the Creamy Ranch Sauce: Pour in 1.5 cups of heavy cream and whisk in 1 tablespoon of dry ranch seasoning. Let it simmer for a few minutes until it begins to thicken. Stir in a handful of Parmesan until smooth.

Toss: Add your al dente pasta directly into the sauce along with the seared steak. Toss well to coat every piece of pasta.

The Mozzarella Finish: Sprinkle a heavy layer of mozzarella over the top. Cover the pan with a lid for 2 minutes, or pop it under the broiler, until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
