Ingredients
– 1 lb beef steak
– 1 medium cauliflower head
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1-First Step: Prep Your Ingredients Wash and chop the cauliflower into evenly sized florets for even roasting. Mince the garlic finely. Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear later on, then season it generously with salt and pepper.
2-Second Step: Sear the Steak Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting to your preferred doneness. Remove the steak and set aside on a plate to rest, allowing the juices to redistribute.
3-Third Step: Roast and Sauté the Cauliflower In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Toss in the cauliflower florets and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until they start to brown lightly. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4-Fourth Step: Add the Cream Sauce Pour in the heavy cream and stir well to combine with the vegetables. Reduce heat to low, allowing the mixture to simmer gently until the sauce thickens and the cauliflower is tender, approximately 10 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
5-Fifth Step: Combine Steak and Sauce Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain and return it to the skillet with the creamy cauliflower. Gently stir to coat the steak pieces with the flavorful cream sauce, warming everything together.
6-Final Step: Serve Serve the savory steak and cauliflower in cream sauce warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired. This dish pairs well with roasted potatoes, wild rice, or a green salad for a balanced meal.
