Creamy macaroni with steak, peppers, onions, and melty cheese in every comforting bite.

# What You'll Need:

→ Steak & Vegetables

01 - 450 g ribeye steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
02 - 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
03 - 1 small onion, thinly sliced
04 - 15 ml olive oil
05 - Salt, to taste
06 - Black pepper, to taste

→ Mac & Cheese

07 - 340 g elbow macaroni or preferred pasta
08 - 28 g butter
09 - 16 g all-purpose flour
10 - 480 ml whole milk
11 - 100 g shredded provolone cheese
12 - 100 g shredded cheddar cheese
13 - 2.5 ml garlic powder
14 - Salt, to taste
15 - Black pepper, to taste
16 - Chopped parsley or chives, for garnish (optional)

# Steps To Follow:

01 - Boil macaroni in well-salted water until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the sliced onion and green bell pepper until softened and lightly caramelized, approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Add steak slices, season with salt and black pepper, and cook just until browned. Remove the steak and vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
03 - In the same skillet or in a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add shredded provolone and cheddar, mixing until cheese is fully melted and sauce is smooth.
04 - Incorporate the drained pasta into the cheese sauce, then fold in the cooked steak and vegetables mixture, ensuring all components are evenly coated.
05 - Optionally, transfer mixture to an oven-safe skillet or dish. Sprinkle with extra shredded cheese and broil for 2 to 3 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling.
06 - Garnish with chopped parsley or chives as desired. Serve immediately while hot and creamy.

# Notes and Tips:

01 - For more pronounced flavour, briefly marinate steak with a dash of Worcestershire sauce before cooking.
