Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Steaks:

  • 2 ribeye or strip steaks (about 1 inch thick)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary

For the Roasted Garlic Whipped Cauliflower:

  • 1 large head cauliflower (cut into florets)
  • 1 whole garlic bulb
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare garlic: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the garlic bulb, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30–35 minutes until soft and golden.
  2. Prepare cauliflower: Steam or boil cauliflower florets for 10–12 minutes until very tender, then drain well.
  3. Make whipped cauliflower: In a food processor, blend cauliflower, roasted garlic cloves (squeezed from skin), butter, cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Prepare steaks: Pat steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Cook steaks: Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks and sear for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to desired doneness. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add butter, crushed garlic, and thyme. Baste the steaks with the brown butter using a spoon. Remove from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Serve: Serve steaks over a bed of roasted garlic whipped cauliflower, drizzling with extra brown butter from the pan.

Notes

  • For even creamier cauliflower, use a high-powered blender.
  • Pair with a green vegetable or crisp salad for a complete meal.
