Does anyone have experience broiling steak? Tried it my first time this morning for a breakfast of steak, eggs, and coffee. Feeling really good after a workout and that for brealfast, but I definitely overcooked my steak.

Edit: was using the broiler function on my fancy, expensive Ninja air fryer, FWIW.

I guess my question is why would you air fry ("broil") a steak when you already dirtied a skillet to make eggs? Isn't the classic steak and eggs cooked in the same skillet? The eggs are fried in the steak fat?

Edit: I will admit that I am not pro air-friers (for myself) because I am already washing dishes for six people and my air frier baskets and "accessories" are hand wash only which makes me not want to use the thing and, if I'm honest, I don't think it "fries" anything better than an oven, maybe a toaster oven.

This is the best stove-top homemade mac and cheese recipe I have ever made

A few notes for those who might want to make it:
- Take your time. Let the butter/flour base for the roux stop simmering before adding the milk. Never let any of the ingredients in the cheese sauce come to a simmer/boil. It should be hot enough to incorporate the shredded cheese but never bubble.
- Only cook pasta until al dente. I also swapped out the 8 oz of American cheese for 8 oz of Monterey.
- It seems like there is a lot of sauce to pasta once mixed together but it needs to sit for a while so the noodles can absorb some of the liquid. I made the cheese sauce in a dutch oven, added the pasta, put the lid on, then let it sit in the oven at 175 degrees for about 45 minutes to an hour. It came out perfectly thick and creamy.
