Ingredients

  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni
  • 2 tbsp butter (for mac and cheese)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook macaroni according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Gradually add milk, whisking until smooth and thickened.
  4. Stir in cheddar and mozzarella cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Add cooked macaroni and bacon to the cheese sauce, stirring to combine. Keep warm.
  6. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak bites in a single layer.
  7. Season steak with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned.
  8. Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet, tossing steak bites to coat and cook for another minute.
  9. Serve steak bites over the mac and cheese and garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use ribeye for extra tenderness and flavor.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan when cooking steak to ensure a proper sear.
  • Substitute different cheeses like gouda or pepper jack for variation.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
