Instructions

- While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and when hot, add oil and add the steak and cook the steak until it is no longer pink. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove the steak and place on a plate and cover to keep warm.1 ½ pound shaved or chopped Ribeye steak, 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- Reduce the heat to medium heat; add chopped onions and peppers in the same skillet as you cooked the beef and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. (Photo 2.)½ medium white onion, 1 red pepper, 1 green pepper, 2 teaspoons garlic

- Bake until the cheese is bubbly
- Remove the casserole dish from the oven and serve hot with your favorite salad or side dish.
Notes
- Adjustable Stuffing. Adjust the amount of meat stuffing and alfredo sauce in each jumbo shell based on your preference.
- Short Bake Time. The oven cook time is relatively short since the meat stuffing, and the pasta shells are already cooked when the dish is assembled. The time in the oven is really just to ensure that all ingredients are heated through and that to melt the cheese and get it bubbly. 10-15 minutes is all that's required.
- Reheating. Suppose you've frozen this dish before baking or frozen leftovers and now wish to bake or reheat thawed leftovers in the oven. In that case, you will likely need to add 5 minutes to the suggested oven time to account for the chilled ingredients.
