Steak

Mac and Cheese

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Take the New York strip steaks and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. In the last minute of cooking, add butter to the skillet and spoon the melted butter over the steaks for extra flavor.

  3. 3

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Rice Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the long-grain rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

Mac and Cheese Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Macaroni

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 6

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring continuously until thickened. Add the cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper, stirring until the cheese is melted and smooth.

  3. 7

    Combine Mac and Cheese

    Add the drained macaroni to the cheese sauce and mix well until fully combined. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Serve the Dish

    On a plate, serve the sliced New York steak alongside a scoop of rice, a generous portion of mac and cheese, and a serving of kimchi. Enjoy your meal!
