INGREDIENTS
- 1/4 oz Cilantro
- 1/4 oz Parsley
- 1 oz Shallots
- 1 fruit (2-1/8" dia) Lemon
- 4 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2/3 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
- 1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 clove Garlic
- 12 oz Cauliflower
- 1 tbsp Sour Cream
- 1 1/2 tsp Unsalted Butter Stick
- 16 oz, boneless, raw (yield after cooking) Steak
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
DIRECTIONS
- Remove the leaves from the cilantro and
parsley stems and discard stems. Place the
leaves in the bowl of a food processor. Chop the shallot and add to the herbs. Zest half of the lemon directly into the
processor. Juice the lemon into a small bowl,
discard the seeds and add the juice to the
herbs along with the red wine vinegar, red
chili flakes, garlic cloves and ½ teaspoon
each of salt and pepper.
- Pulse until all the ingredients are well
combined, but not over processed. Pour into a medium bowl and stir in
4 tablespoons of olive oil; hold. Wash and rinse the food processor for use
in step 4.
- Add 2 cups of water to a medium
sauce pot and insert a steam basket. Place
the cauliflower florets in the steamer
basket and bring the water to a boil over
high heat. Cover and cook until tender, 10 to 12
minutes and drain in a colander.
- Puree the cauliflower in the food
processor, adding the florets in small
batches. Add the sour cream, butter and
⅓ teaspoon of salt and process until
smooth and well combined. Keep warm and hold for plating.
- Pat dry the steaks with paper towels and
season with ¼ teaspoon each of salt and
pepper. Heat a large non-stick sauté pan over
medium-high heat and when the pan is
hot, add the steak and sear on one side for
3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove the steak and place on a cutting
board to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Slice into ¼-inch pieces against the grain.
- Divide the cauliflower mash between
two plates. Arrange the steak slices next to the
cauliflower and drizzle the chimichurri
over the steak. Enjoy!
