Directions
- 1Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and then set aside.
- 2While the pasta boils, season the steak strips with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- 3Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for about 2-3 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- 4In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream, ranch dressing, and honey, stirring to combine. Let sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes.
