Resting the steak is crucial for juicy results, allowing the internal juices to redistribute.

While steak rests, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente (firm to the bite). Drain well.

Don't overcook the noodles; they will finish cooking slightly when mixed with the hot cheese sauce.

In the same pot (or a clean one), melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute to make a roux. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth and thickened. Reduce heat to low, add shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
