🔥 Spicy BBQ Steak Mac & Cheese Skillet Ingredients • 1 tbsp olive oil • 1 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, or your choice), cut into bite-size cubes • Salt & pepper, to taste • 1 tsp garlic powder • ½ tsp smoked paprika • ½ tsp chili powder (optional for heat) • 8 oz elbow macaroni or any pasta of choice • 2 tbsp butter • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour • 2 cups milk (whole or 2%) • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese • ½ cup shredded mozzarella (optional for stretchiness) • ¼ cup BBQ sauce (spicy or regular) • 1–2 tsp hot sauce (adjust to taste) ⸻ Instructions 1. Cook the Pasta: Boil pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside. 2. Sear the Steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak cubes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and chili powder. Add to skillet and cook 2–3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from skillet and set aside. 3. Make the Cheese Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Slowly whisk in milk until smooth and thickened (about 3–4 minutes). Stir in cheddar and mozzarella until melted and creamy. 4. Add Flavor: Mix in BBQ sauce and hot sauce. Adjust heat level to taste. 5. Combine Everything: Add cooked pasta and steak back into the skillet. Stir until everything is coated in the cheesy BBQ sauce. 6. Finish & Serve: Optional — top with extra cheese and broil for 2–3 minutes for a bubbly, golden finish. Garnish with green onions or parsley if desired. #foryou #Foodie #100kviews #cooking #pasta - @recipex0
