Instructions
- Pat steak dry and slice into 1/2-inch wide strips. Season with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let rest for 5 minutes.

Notes
Use skirt or flank steak for best texture. Let steak rest after cooking to keep juicy. Warm serving bowl before adding dip to keep cheese melty longer. Can prep steak and ranch base separately and combine before serving. Substitute black beans with pinto beans or sour cream with coconut yogurt for dairy-free option.
