Ingredients:
1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak, cut into thin strips (for juicy, tender bites)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced (fresh garlic gives bold flavor)
8 oz pasta (fettuccine, penne, or your favorite shape)

4. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
5. Gradually stir in the white cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
6. Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat.
