Difficult perhaps but hardly impossible:

Flank Steak Alfredo

1.5 lb flank steak
1 packet beefy onion soup* (see note)
1 cup confectioners sugar
1/4 lb macaroni

Preheat oven to 350 deg.
Sear steak in iron skillet, wrap in foil and bake for 1 to 3 hours.
Meanwhile prepare macaroni according to package directions. Make icing
using the confectioners sugar.

To assemble place macaroni in serving dish, sprinkle dry onion soup mix
on the macaroni, put the steak on top and apply icing.

* Note: this is best with onion soup, but is also pretty good without it.
