The first thing we are doing is preparing the potatoes but washing and peeling the skin. It is finished boiling and now we are going to mash it until it is smooth. When it is smooth add butter, milk, then stir it with a masher. We took out the steak and cut it into the same size as our hands to fit in the pan. Once we are done we are going to season it with Black pepper, salt, lemon pepper, and Garlic salt. We are now frying it in the pan. We are waiting for the steak to cook then we will put another steak to fry but we are patting it with a paper towel to take the oil away. The steak is done and it is time to make the mac n cheese. My mum will be making the mushroom sauce and my dad will be making the mac and cheese. We bought this mac n cheese bag from pak n save. Trust Me it's really nice. You can make it on the stove or microwave but we're just gonna do it on the microwave because it is faster and way better than cooking on the stove. So first we cut the bag and pour it in a bowl and once we poured  it there will be macaroni and there will also be like a pasta powder that will come together with the mac n cheese so once we poured it on our bowl combine 1 cup (250mL) lite milk 1 ½cups (375mL) hot boiling water from the kettle and 1 tablespoon salt you don't have to put salt. Stir it up and then make sure to put the bowl on top of a plate. We put it for 10-12 minutes, stirring 2-3 times. Stand 2 minutes before serving.  We have added the prawns so what we did was pour it in the pan and added butter and crushed garlic and that was all we did for the yummy prawns.  Last but not least, the mushroom sauce ingredients and how you make it is my mom. Cut the mushroom once you're done cutting it, add the cheese sauce with full cream and stir it until it boils. Then it will be ready for you to add the mushroom sauce together with your delicious macaroni n cheese with mash potato and your amazing beef. The food was so delicious. The beef was so juicy and I could taste the Black pepper, salt, lemon pepper, and Garlic salt. The macaroni cheese was so creamy and soft. The mash potato was just so smooth. The mushroom sauce was just excellent. The whole food was bravo. I give this food a 10/10. It was just wonderful. This is my recount writing it is part of my homework i really enjoyed it and the spectacular food that me and me family cooked except for my little sister. I hope you guys enjoy reading  my writing what i  have been cooking today.
