Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings). Wash and dry all produce.
- To the boiling water, add fusilli. Cook for 10-12 min, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water.
- Strain fusilli and transfer to a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, peel, then cut half the onion into 1/4-inch pieces (use whole onion for 4 servings).
- Roughly chop spinach.
- To a small bowl, add half the Worcestshire sauce, ketchup and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Season with half the Zesty Garlic Blend, salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then steaks. Cook for 1-2 min per side, until browned. Remove from heat and transfer steaks to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven 5-8 min, or until cooked to desired doneness.**
- When steaks are done, remove from heat and transfer to a plate. Loosely cover with foil and set aside to rest for 2-3 min.
- To the same large pot from step 1, heat 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter over medium.
- When butter is melted, add onions. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring often, until onions soften. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add Cream Sauce Spice Blend and remaining Zesty Garlic Blend. Cook for 30 sec, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- To the pot, in a slow, steady stream, add reserved pasta water, then 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) milk, whisking to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer over high.
- Once simmering, reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 2-3 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens.
- Add cheese. Cook for 45 sec-1 min, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted and combined.
- To the pot with sauce, add fusilli and spinach. Stir until spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper.
- Thinly slice steaks.
- Divide mac and cheese and steak between plates.
- Spoon steak sauce over top of steak.
- Sprinkle crispy shallots over top.
