Steak Tips with Cheesy Rigatoni

1.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the rigatoni pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.

2.

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.

3.

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.

4.

Reduce the heat to medium and pour cream into the skillet, stirring to incorporate and scrape any flavorful bits from the bottom.

5.

Add the cooked rigatoni and cheddar cheese to the steak mixture, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce evenly coats the pasta.

6.

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

7.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
