Ingredients:

2 ribeye steaks (8 oz each)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Preparation Steps:

Season the ribeye steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add steaks to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Remove steaks and let rest.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Return steaks to the skillet and spoon the garlic herb butter over them for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, steam cauliflower florets until tender, about 10 minutes.
Transfer steamed cauliflower to a food processor, add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Serve steaks topped with garlic herb butter alongside the creamy cauliflower mash. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
