It’s the kind of indulgent, satisfying meal that turns any weeknight into something special.

1 pound steak tips
1 pound rigatoni pasta
2 cups cheddar cheese
1 cup cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the rigatoni pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent.
- Add the steak tips to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until they are brown on all sides, around 8 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium and pour cream into the skillet, stirring to incorporate and scrape any flavorful bits from the bottom.

- Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
