INGREDIENTS
6.75 oz Lean Sirloin Steak
1 cup Green Beans
1 tsp Olive Oil (for green beans)
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Cauliflower florets
1 tbsp Olive Oil (for cauliflower mash)
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Take the steak out of the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side (depending on thickness) for medium-rare, adjusting time for your preferred doneness. Remove the steak and let it rest while you prepare the sides.
For the garlic green beans, blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until they are crisp-tender. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to preserve their vibrant color.
In a separate pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic (from 2 cloves) and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the blanched green beans, toss to coat well, and warm through for about 2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
For the mashed cauliflower, steam the cauliflower florets until very tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Mash until smooth with a fork or an immersion blender for a creamier texture.
Plate the sliced steak alongside a serving of garlic green beans and a hearty scoop of mashed cauliflower. Enjoy your balanced, flavorful dinner!
