Ingredients

6
  • 2 ribeye steaks (1 inch thick)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

2

For the baked mac and cheese: Cook the macaroni according to package instructions; drain and set aside.

3

In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, stir in flour, and gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Add cheese and stir until melted and combined.

4

Combine macaroni and cheese sauce, pour into a baking dish, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

5

For the Brussels sprouts: Toss the sprouts with honey, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy.

6

For the asparagus: Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a separate baking sheet for 15 minutes.

7

For the mashed potatoes: Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain, then mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until creamy.

8

Season ribeye steaks with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat, cook steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

9

Assemble the ribeye board by placing sliced steak on a wooden board surrounded by mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, and mashed potatoes.

Kitchen Tools

  • Large pot for boiling pasta and potatoes
  • Skillet for cooking the ribeye
  • Baking sheets for roasting vegetables
  • Wooden board for serving
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Pro Tips

Let the steak rest after cooking to retain juices.
Feel free to add grated Parmesan to your mac and cheese for an extra cheesy depth.
For well-cooked Brussels sprouts, ensure they are evenly spread on the baking sheet.

Troubleshooting

If the mac and cheese is too thick, add more milk when reheating.
If the steak is too rare for your liking, return it to the skillet for a few minutes more.
Brussels sprouts that are soft and mushy could be due to overcrowding during roasting.

Recipe Variations

Replace ribeye with another cut of beef like sirloin or filet mignon.
Add other vegetables such as carrots or bell peppers to the roasted mix.
Use a different cheese blend in the mac and cheese for unique flavour combinations.

Healthy Alternatives

Use whole grain pasta for the mac and cheese.
Roast Brussels sprouts with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for added flavour without the honey.
Use skim milk and reduce butter in mashed potatoes for a lighter version.

Serving Suggestions

Pair this ribeye board with a fresh garden salad.
Serve with a side of garlic bread for extra indulgence.
Offer a selection of dipping sauces for the steak.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat mashed potatoes with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
Brussels sprouts can also be reheated in the oven for that crispy texture.

Leftover Ideas

Make a delicious steak salad using leftover ribeye.
Combine mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and cheese for a hearty fritter.
Create a pasta bake using leftover mac and cheese as a base.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Overcooking the steak can lead to dryness; use a meat thermometer for perfect results.
Not salting the pasta water can result in bland macaroni.
Crowding the baking sheet with Brussels sprouts can prevent them from getting crispy.
