Ingredients
For the Steak:
1 lb sirloin or flank steak
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp butter
For the Mac & Cheese:
8 oz elbow or shell pasta (whole wheat or high-protein if preferred)
1 tbsp butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened milk (dairy or almond)
1/2 cup light cream or evaporated milk
1 cup shredded light mozzarella or white cheddar
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt, black pepper, and pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Season steak with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high. Sear steak 3–4 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Add garlic and butter in the last minute. Let rest, then slice thinly.
In a separate pan, melt butter. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds. Whisk in flour to form a roux.
Slowly add milk and cream, whisking until smooth. Simmer 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in cheeses, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Once melted and creamy, fold in pasta.
Top with sliced steak and extra Parmesan if desired.
