Seared Lean Beef with Garlic Green Beans and Mashed Cauliflower
Enjoy a savory, well-balanced dinner featuring tender seared lean beef complemented by garlicky green beans and creamy mashed cauliflower elevated with a touch of olive oil and a hint of Greek yogurt. Drawing inspiration from classic Italian techniques for searing and southern comforts in the sides, this dish offers a delightful blend of flavors and textures.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 oz lean top sirloin steak
1 cup green beans
1 tsp olive oil (for beans)
1 clove garlic
1 cup cauliflower florets
1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tsp unsalted butter
1 tsp olive oil (for cauliflower mash)
PREPARATION
Bring the steak to room temperature and pat dry with paper towels.
Preheat a skillet over high heat. Season the steak lightly with salt and pepper.
Add half teaspoon of olive oil to the hot skillet and sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the steak is resting, blanch the green beans in boiling water for 3 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain and immediately transfer them to a bowl with ice water to maintain their vibrant color.
In a separate pan, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, then toss in the green beans and warm them through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
For the mashed cauliflower, steam the cauliflower florets until very tender (about 8-10 minutes). Transfer to a bowl and add the nonfat Greek yogurt and 1 teaspoon butter. Blend or mash until smooth. Drizzle with the extra teaspoon of olive oil and mix well. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
Plate the sliced steak alongside a serving of garlic green beans and a generous scoop of mashed cauliflower. Serve immediately and enjoy!
