Garlic Steak Mac n Cheese
If you seriously like garlic, steak and Mac n cheese then this dish if for you. Super garlicky, crispy steak bites, served on an equally as garlicky, and indulgent Mac n’ cheese. I love cooking when it’s simple, but effective.

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve pasta water, just in case you need to add later on.
In a large bowl, coat the steak bites with salt, garlic granules and smoked paprika.
Melt the tbsp of light butter in a large, non-stick pan, then sear the steak bites on high heat, for 3-4 minutes, until brown and charred all over. Add the finely chopped garlic and parsley, toss to combine, then cook for 2-3 minutes, remove the steak bites from the pan.
Reduce the heat to low and melt the remaining tbsp of light butter in the same pan, whisk the flour to combine with the butter, then gradually whisk in the milk to create a sauce, until there are no lumps. Stir in the garlic granules, onion granules, a pinch of salt and black pepper, then add the light cream cheese and finally the cheddar-mozzarella mix.
Once the cheese has melted, add the pasta and toss to combine. If your Mac n cheese needs loosening, add a splash of pasta water.
Check if your steak bites need reheating slightly (if they do, they’ll only need 30 seconds in the microwave), then serve the steak bites on top of the Mac n cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley.
