Important Cooking Notes
- Marinate the steak overnight for better flavour
- When cooking the steak, make sure the heat is medium high heat. Cook for 3-4 mins each side to get a nice sear
- Lower the heat slightly when adding extra butter, minced garlic and parsley. Mix for 1-2 mins then remove from the heat
- Make sure the heat is on low when making the cheese sauce. Stir till creamy and the cheese is stringy then turn off the heat and add the macaroni

Man I just wanna say thank you for reviving my interest in cooking. God bless you
Means the world bro I appreciate you!! Can’t wait to keep providing value for you all🙏🏽👨🍳
Came to say the same. Only sweet potatoes and chicken breasts. Thank you for your videos... Please put the recipe with quantities of rice also in the comments❤❤❤
This is how you teach and post your recipes. I'm so glad I've found your channel. Kudos-n-thank you :)
God bless you.
What cut of meat is that
AMEN
I love that you cook the Macaroni and Cheese in the same pan you just used for cooking the steak, all that flavor is just gonna get added to it. Perfect job.
Plus one pan less to clean
its not that big of a deal, less washing up aswell.
@@imjustvibinboi2406definitely a big deal . The small details are often what stands out most!
@@RainbowLovh1 💯 I do this whenever possible
@@RainbowLovh1absolutely, just started using the oil and butter left over from my bacon when I toss my eggs in, makes a world of difference. Can’t believe I was throwing it out 😣😂
This looks superb sir . I have never said this about any food on TH-cam. Something about this meal looks very comforting
For those who don't like lean meat because it's too tough, even cooked rare enough: mix in a couple tbsp of baking soda before the spices, let sit 15-45 min depending on how tender you want it, wash it off, dry it off with paper towels, then spice it..
@@jonslg240Just let the meat sit in baking soda? No water or anything?
Looks delicious 😋
store your food in glass containers
@@Black_Aces briefly, yes. Don't leave it in for too long, as it will ruin the meat
Bro you are the goat for including the recipe in the description
This is seriously gonna make my dad so happy, and it's packed with a bunch of protein. Plus, looks like food from an expensive restaurant. You got mad skills, thanks for sharing them
If you want to share it with him because he needs to eat less calories: Don't.
This youtuber is a known "calorie scammer", it's actually about 1000 kcal.
@@kjeldschouten-lebbing6260 I cooked it, weighed everything out, and divided it evenly. Came out to 590 calories per meal for each. People are just stupid and don't know how to listen. LIGHT cream cheese, LIGHT butter, LIGHT cheese. these all dramatically reduce the calories. You also have to use a lean cut of steak like he does in this video.
@@chandlertodd5710What was your portion weight?
@@chandlertodd5710Lean cut can be expensive. Just use proper dairy and reduce the amount, problem solved and it'll taste nicer
@@kjeldschouten-lebbing6260wth is a calorie scammer?? 😂😂😂
I just made this. It is bangin'! Good call! Thank you. I'll be making more of your dishes.
The thing I love about this guy as well is he provides the recipe in a smaller serving. I've always found it easier to double a recipe than halve it. And on a bulk this doubled would be an amazing meal.
As a single person, I appreciate the smaller yield recipes as well. I grew up cooking for a family of 6 so I have trouble cooking less food and end up with too much leftover.
Just made this tonight.
Was sooo good! I added broccoli to mine. Ty for this bomb recipe!
You like the cheese/cream for the Mac & cheese I was thinking of adding more cheese
Love the inclusion of the seasons instead of just saying “seasons mix” and making us guess
Always want to make it easy for you all! All details are written in the description too🙏🏽 appreciate you!
Where is the description because I’m not seeing it
@@Peter-wl3tm3 dots at the top right
@@Peter-wl3tm tap the 3 dots on the top right of the shorts video and you’ll find it there
U dnt know how to season? Jeez
Dude I been eating you’re food for an week now and I can confidently confirm, it’s taste goddamn delicious and it helps a lot with my training progress, I just wanted to say Thank You man!
What steak do you use?
Just made it hands down the best Mac n cheese I’ve ever had.
I now have an intense craving. Thanks bro👍🏻
It's cooking like this that just makes me cry tears of joy 😭. This looks so freaking GOOD OMG 😳❤️👀
This does look so good I’m starving
Add more protein and less carbs by switching out for chickpea pasta also you can sauté spinach to have spinach Mac n cheese this has been my quick go to one pan 30 min meal since I was 17❤
Edit: ❤️ them 2k likes I should make video lol jkjk buuut ??????
What about the garlic bread?
Kidding 😅
nah bro I ain't tryna get kidney stones from eating spinach daily u crazy
Why would you need less carbs unless you’re going full keto? 42g is already very low.
@@strengtheats6399 personally carbs make me feel over full but yeah that’s me.
🍋 Lemon squeezed on steak is so refreshing
Just cook this today and it's soooooo good. Thanks for sharing!
By my count each serving is approximately 910kcal with 78 grams of protein.
And that sir is like half of my daily intake 😂😂😂 I’m on a cal deficit and that’s would kill it haja
Agreed. There's about 200g of meat + loads of cheese in each serving. No way it's all of that is adding up to just 550 calories
@parlor3115 my thoughts exactly
Did you account for him saying light butter, light cheese, and skim milk meaning use the non fat options that have significantly less calories?!! Honestly you need to pay attention.
@@michaelzizzo6726 Man even if they were light those has so much calories my man
Im so glad i found this channel. Cant wait to try these recipes
Thank you for sharing this.
if anyone thinks this is 550 calories is delusional. The fats that are being used to cook this are more than 500 alone.
That’s what I was thinking too
You gotta portion it out properly.
i was gon say man or else those tupperwares are tiny
Considering he doesn't use any actual dairy products and only uses light alternatives I imagine that saves a bit but yea the portion sizes shown seem deceptive. Either they're shot in a way to make them seem bigger or he's saying you could have a portion of them at 550 but then shows an unrelated full box to make it seem appetising and filling but try and put some separation between his claim and the display
@@TonyVawnz You can say this about literally any food
Finally. Someone who realizes cream cheese makes a better mac n cheese without overloading it in CHEESE! These old school recipes need to update. 😊
"4 equal servings"
Aaahh **ahem** brother man? Thats only 3
Im gonna make this and add a side of veggies as well, looks like a decent recipe 👌
This looks so yummy. I can't wait to make this. Thanks for sharing! 😋
Got a ton of these saved up! Very easy (and so delicous) to cook up on a sunday for my 4 overnight 10s where i dont have alot of spare time to prep proper lunches every night. Plus, the variety is great yet kept simple so i never get tired of this stuff. Plus the more or less precounted calories makes that part so much easier for me.
Genuinely so grateful that my recipes help you in your day to day🙏🏽 appreciate yoo for the support i’ll keep sharing more recipes and providing value for you all!
I’m pescatarian but I will definitely enjoy making this for my family ❤looks delicious 😊
Make some salmon bites for yourself
@@cortneypayton6473I just went vegetarian few weeks ago after a yr n half of pescatarian. But yes I used to love me some salmon bites. ❤ thank you 😊
Will add this to my prep meals
Thank You 👍
Look delicious
that's more than a 500 kcal 4 sure
It's all fake processed bullshit dairy. No calories, because it isn't food
I was thinking the same
he uses a little over 1 cup of milk for the whole recipe. Even using whole (3%) milk that's still only 150 calories for a cup, with 0% milk that's 90 calories. 300 calories for the cream cheese (going on philadelphia light cream cheese), let's say 90 calories for both servings of cheese, 742 calories for 200g dry macaroni.
So 1,313 calories for all the macaroni (spices having negligible calories)
So 1,313 split into 4 servings makes 328 calories each for the mac akd cheese.
According to the USDA a beef shoulder steak completely trimmed of fat is 137 calories for 100g, or 1,096 for the 800g shown (now we don't know the exact cut of meat granted but it's very lean whatever it is and most if not all fat has been trimmed), 1tbsp of light butter has 52 calories... we don't know the exact amount of olive oil used so let's say 2tbsp, that should be more than enough to provide a decent coating so that's 238 calories, spices are again negligible. That's 1,386 calories for the beef all said and done.
Add to the Mac and cheese split into 4 servings gives 674 calories. So above what's advertised... but if you can find lower calorie pasta (I'm going based on standard wheat noodles) then 550 per serving should be attainable.
@@JM64 You forgot that while he says "split into 4 servings" he only splits it into 3 servings in the video, so each serving he actually showed was closer to 900 calories.
@@Notius he was going to eat the 4th serving right away. So he would only need to store 3 servings
Gotta bake ya mac n cheese... southern way 4the win
Actually the first food video on YT I might consider trying
Thanks so much for this great idea! I'm gonna make it for my family this weekend!
3 tubs ....4 equal servings ??
Probably are the other serving
Probably ate the last serving
Numbers are hard
He left the other serving in the pan for himself
@@XeroJin84and apparently for you, so is grammar…
Goated channel 👏
Goated comment, I appreciate you fr!🙏🏽👑
That looks so scrumptious
Brooo I found this channel like two days ago and I feel this is going to help me start my cooking journey! Thank you so much!!!
ONLY 550 CALORIES A BITE LMAO
Lol for real. Way too much fat in this recipe. Even if it's low fat.
Exactly. This isn’t anywhere near 550 calorie lol. More like 2000 calories in that entire meal.
@@shadowbotz4293 2000/4 = 500
@@shadowbotz4293yeah it’s a 2000 calorie meal. he said divide it into 4 portions. 2000/4 = 500. It’s not that hard to understand
@@melvinraison6937 You've clearly never meal prepped and counted your macros before. This recipe isn't even close.
Thanks for the detailed recipe and instructions.
I got you! Always will have the full info and detailed recipe in the description for you all🙏🏽👨🍳
I watch a lot of shorts “ Food Videos” and I just watch them and like. 👍 but this looks SOOO GOOD that I had to actually comment lol. Man that looks good af
That really means a lot thank you! One of the best recipes for sure, hope you try it!👨🍳🔥
Clear, Succint, Informative - you’ll go far g
The macaroni alone is 350kcal without the cheese this cap
Actually the serving size for all pasta is 200 for 2 Oz so for one serving without the cheese it should be 200
All that cheese and butter added makes this straight 🧢
Yeah there’s way more fat in the Mac and cheese too
He uses non fat milk and reduced fat cheese
@@adro3869 yeah which is gonna taste gross tbh. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s not actually using those versions in his video because low fat cheese doesn’t melt as easily and would probably look grainy and unappetizing on camera. I’m always wary of food content creators, they’re always finessing us with fake sound effects and deceptive cheese pulls. Lol
As a man born in Massachusetts and raised in Mississippi this looks really good.
Looks absolutely amazing!!!
Amazing recipe. My kids loved it.
I made this for dinner after I saw this video. Delicious 👌
So happy you enjoyed it brother! Thank you!
What type of steak ?

Learn how to calculate calories bro
This is a lot higher than 550
It's divided into 3 servings so in total 1650 calories.
@@Brycechess1 serving is not 550, and that's easy to see.
@@dremewhite5209the milk and cream cheese alone is like 300
@@Drownedinblooddepending on what kinds you use, you can get low calorie versions of essentially everything in this video and make it even lower than 550
im a professional chef with over 20 yrs exp. and i must say DAMN this looks fire
Wow this looks absolutely delicious!
This looks sooooo good!!!
He always mentions 4 servings but shows only 3. It is because the one is immediately eaten since it is so gooood 😊
Sorry, the missing serving is my fault off camera 😂😂😂 looks delicious, I have a bunch of these videos saved for later
Are you sure of 550 calories thing 😅
Probably since the meat is lean as hell
Meat probably is 90%10 or more
You can also substitute the macaroni with red lentil or chickpea pasta, taste very similar to traditional pasta with an extra 20 grams of protein
Probably meant per bite
Have doubts About it to
Wow looks so good!!
That looks delicious NGL I may try that
So for info, I've dialed all this in cronometer and I end up with 545kcals/12g F BUT
- I didn't add the seasoning, garlic and parsley
- I used 1tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp light butter
- To get that low I didn't use light cream cheese and milk but fat free ones
- The leanest cuts of beef I have here (BE) don't have a single dot of visible fat on them and the label shows 100kcals/100g(23P and 0.8F), however it's tough af, especially when reheated in the microwave
Interesting, I know lean cuts are more successfully cut thinly across the grain so maybe that'll help?
Light cream chews and skim milk mean nonfat
What cut of steak do you typically use for this?
could be wrong but that looks like london broil
It's lean as heck That's for sure! A cut of beef like that I'd have to tenderize it first in a marinade
It’s either eye round, or a top round London broil. Super TOUGH steaks but they’re loaded with more protein, beef flavor and hardly any fat. Great for roasts and slow cooking but not steak like how the guy is cooking in the video.
@@imbaddienev what is your favorite way of tenderizing a lean cut like that?
@@GoMathewVideo I used to use a pineapple juice rub a lot and occasionally still do because it breaks down the tough fibers for a more tender steak, but I found using some citric acid powders or even a really good mustard rub works better because you don’t have to completely soak the meat like how you do with most marinades or tenderizers. Mustard and a lot of acid powders won’t overtake the flavor of the meat once seasoned.
The most natural way is simply seasoning your meat with salt and leaving it in the fridge overnight to brine. Brining is a great way to tenderize meat without doing anything crazy or making a bad mess.
I think my sons and I would enjoy this very much
I take your recipes for inspiration for my everyday meals, this is one of my favorites! Keep it up! ❤
I don’t understand how people are afraid of calories and fat. Thats the good shit!
Cause some people want to lose weight and to do that you need less calories. And some people want high protein because that builds muscle and building muscle and losing weight makes you lean which is ideal for most people.
You keep saying 500 calories, I dont think it means what you think it means. 😂😂
What do you think it means
@@80fly1992There's no way that is only 500, he's capping so hard atp
Hajaaaaa one of my favorite movies!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@tarynnunez6833I’m confused
@@acestation6074It's a quote from a movie. The Princess Bride.
OMG 😲 Looks delicious 😋!
I'm going to make this
this is the first video i’ve watched from you but i already fucking love your channel dude, there needs to be more fashion videos like this
hoping to see more bangers like this 🤝
That's about 500 calories in macaroni alone. Aint no way the whole thing 550. Im sure its delicious though. 😂
It's split into servings
"per serving"?
@@deadosaka1712 yup
Bro, I just did the math...the steak ALONE with nothing else is almost 500 calories. By my math, this bowl is well over 1000 cals. Totally full of shit
@@marsh3825 you definitely didn't do the math....
Brother, this looks cracked ain’t no way it’s only 500 calories. Can you please tell me how you calculate calories I want to make sure 😮😮
I think if you put it into different servings you do get 550
It's 550 calories if you limit yourself to 3 or 4 bites then throw the rest out.
Omg I making this! Thank you
This made me soooo hungry!!!! It is 3 am right now! Thank you for this idea!!
No way one serving has 550 calories. No way there is 14 g of fat only.
More like 1k calories 😂
4 even servings in 3 containers?
@@ZanderKaneUK he plates one up off camera, when you meal prep you generally make yourself a meal to eat.
There is no fat in mac and cheese and the cheese, milk, and cream cheese are all split across the 3 meals so their serving size is less and they are already low fat. Skim mozzarella has 5-6g of fat, low fat milk is 1% which has 2.5, I think low fat cream cheese is around 3-4g so if you add that together. On the high end thats 12.5g then split across 3 meals is 4.150 ish g of fat
I forgot the butter, never used low fat butter so idk the macros but he also said in a different comment he uses the leanest cuts of beef possible so it’s adding up
Is it really 550 kcal per serving? Because I'm having my doubts, especially since you've lied about the calorie count before.
5500
Where? Do the calorie breakdown yourself and count it, the ingredients are in the description. Do it accurately and divide it into 4 servings as mentioned and let everyone else know if you're doubtful
It’s all about portions which is why he portions most of the food in the beginning of the video. But I get what you’re saying I usually watch my calories, trans fat, saturated fat, and carbs and if you get ingredients that have low numbers in all categories you’ll be fine. But portions and meal prep helps a lot if you dont feel like cooking everyday.
Lools delicious! I would add something green with it, maybe broccoli or brussels sprouts.
Looks so delicious have to try it , im wondering could you substitute almond milk instead of light milk
Bro how do you measure the amount of calories ? 🤔
Unless the portion is the size of your fist for the whole thing this is easily 1000 caliries
He just makes it up - that dish could be 1k as shown
550 lol no way
Looks so good. Need this before and after a good workout.
Looks so good 😊
For those genuinely curious about the calories I did the math so you don't have to! A bit long winded but worth the read:

Add to the Mac and cheese split into 4 servings gives 674 calories. So above what's advertised... but if you can find lower calorie pasta (I'm going based on standard wheat noodles) then 550 per serving should be attainable.
Regardless it still comes out to ~10 calories/g protein which is fairly standard. Split each of those servings into 3 parts and you got a decent meal for cutting... but I'd try to incorporate more veggies.

I have to say, this helps me out big time, because that's something I could take for lunch everyday and never get tired of, and it's in a way a healthier option for lunch over what if normally go for, and definitely affordable. Not to mention you used sirloin cuts for the steak cubes, which has less fat than most other cuts and is significantly healthier than other cuts of steak
