Italian Steak Dinner
- 3 Tablespoons Canola Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Grey Sea Salt
- 4 whole Steaks (You Could Go With Any Cut That You Like, I Went With Filet Mignon), At Room Temperature
- 1/4 cups Aged Balsamic Vinegar
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Olive Oil
- 1 head Citrus Cauliflower (you Can Use Regular Cauliflower As Well)
- 2 Tablespoons Salt, Divided
- 1 Tablespoon Pepper
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, Chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Crushed Red Pepper
- 1 bunch Broccoli Rabe, Blanched
- For the steak: Prepare a heavy fry pan over medium heat.
- Add canola oil to pan.
- Sprinkle the grey sea salt over the pan.
- The salt is going to act as a base for the steak to sit on.
- It will add a nice crust to the steak as well.
- Put the steaks on top of the salt.
- Cook on each side for 2-5 minutes (depending how rare or well done you like your steak!).
- Take the steaks out of the pan and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the balsamic reduction.
- For the reduction: Add the aged balsamic vinegar to the fry pan.
- It will mix with the leftover liquid from the steak.
- Cook on low-medium heat until the sauce is bubbling and slightly reduced.
- Serve immediately drizzled over the steaks.
- For the cauliflower: Prepare a medium size glass ramekin with peeled garlic and pour the olive oil over it.
- Cook in the oven on 350 degrees F for at least 45 minutes or until the garlic is roasted.
- Chop cauliflower, removing the base and any of the leaves.
- You dont need to really cut it, just cut it enough so it fits in the pot.
- Put in a deep pot over high heat and fill with water.
- Add 1 tablespoon salt.
- Cook until the cauliflower is soft enough to mash, at least 25 minutes.
- Drain the water and mash the cauliflower; I like to do a rough mash just using a fork.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon salt, pepper and the roasted garlic and olive oil.
- Using an electric hand mixer, mix.
- You want the garlic to break down a little in the cauliflower and you want to olive oil to mix as well.
- For the broccoli rabe: Prepare a medium size pan over medium heat.
- Add olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper.
- Allow the garlic to brown slightly, around 5 minutes.
- Add blanched broccoli rabe, toss and cook for 10 minutes.
- You dont want to overcook the broccoli rabe and end up with mush!
- You want to keep it nice and crisp!
