INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Sirloin Steak (142g)
1 cup Cauliflower Florets (107g)
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (28g total)
1 cup Green Beans (125g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
1 tsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (2.5g)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Start by patting the 5 oz sirloin steak dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and lightly dust with unsweetened cocoa powder.
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or adjust according to your preferred level of doneness. Once cooked to your liking, remove and let rest.
Meanwhile, steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer them to a blender along with 2 tablespoons of low-fat cottage cheese. Blend until smooth to create a creamy puree; season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
For the green beans, blanch or steam them until just tender, then drain. In a small pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat and toss the green beans until they become slightly crispy.
To plate, spoon a generous portion of the cauliflower puree onto the plate, lay the cocoa-dusted steak alongside, and scatter the crispy green beans around. Serve immediately and enjoy the balanced flavors.
