Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Season the grass-fed steak with salt and black pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Make the Mac & Cheese

    Cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions. In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then stir in the milk and bring to a simmer. Add the cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Mix in the cooked macaroni and season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, chili powder, minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized.

  4. 4

    Cook the Farro

    In a pot, combine farro and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until tender. Drain any excess water. In the last 10 minutes of cooking, add the diced butternut squash to the pot to cook together.

  5. 5

    Make the Harissa Dressing

    In a small bowl, mix the harissa paste with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Serve

    On a plate, arrange slices of steak alongside a generous serving of mac & cheese, roasted Brussels sprouts, and farro with butternut squash. Drizzle the harissa dressing over the dish and enjoy!
