How to make it
Mix the steak with oil and seasonings.
In a bowl, combine the steak cubes with oil and all the seasonings. This will help infuse the meat with flavor while you prepare the mac and cheese.
Shred the cheeses and mix together.
Grate the cheeses and combine them in a bowl. This will ensure they melt evenly in the sauce.
Boil the pasta.
In a pot of water seasoned with chicken bouillon or salt, boil the pasta until it's al dente, about 1-2 minutes less than the package instructions.
Melt butter and bloom the spices.
In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the garlic powder and paprika. Cook for about a minute to release their flavors.
Add flour and cook.
Sprinkle the flour into the butter mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously to create a roux.
Add heavy cream and evaporated milk.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream and evaporated milk while whisking to combine, ensuring a smooth sauce.
Stir in half of the cheese mixture.
Once the mixture is warm but not simmering, gradually stir in half of the cheese mixture until fully melted and combined.
Layer the mac and cheese in a baking dish.
In a baking dish, layer half of the mac and cheese mixture, followed by half of the remaining cheese, then the rest of the mac, and top with the remaining cheese. Sprinkle paprika on top for color.
Bake the mac and cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. If desired, broil on low for a few minutes to achieve a crispy crust.
Sear the steak.
In a hot pan, add oil and sear the marinated steak until it reaches your desired doneness and develops a nice crust.
Add butter, garlic, and shallots to the steak.
One minute before the steak is finished cooking, add the butter, minced garlic, and shallots to the pan and cook until fragrant.
Rest the mac and cheese.
Once the mac and cheese is done baking, allow it to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Top with the garlic butter steak bites.
