Method

Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

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

Cheese Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.

  2. 3

    Add Milk

    Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens.

  3. 4

    Incorporate Cheeses

    Reduce heat to low and add cheddar cheese and cream cheese. Stir until completely melted and smooth. Add garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Steak Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Steak

    Season the ribeye steak with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 6

    Cook the Steak

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Let it rest before slicing.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Combine Pasta and Cheese Sauce

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni and cheese sauce. Mix until the pasta is well coated.

  2. 8

    Layer with Steak

    Slice the rested steak and fold it into the mac and cheese mixture.

  3. 9

    Prepare Topping

    In a separate bowl, mix bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.

  4. 10

    Assemble and Bake

    Transfer the mac and cheese mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
