Preparation

Cooking the Pasta

Making the Cheese Sauce
- In a large pot, combine the cream cheese, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese over medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously until everything is melted and well combined, creating a creamy cheese sauce.
Combining Ingredients

- Fold in the sautéed steak and vegetable mixture into the pasta and cheese sauce. Mix well to ensure that the flavors disperse evenly throughout the dish.
Final Touches

Serving
