How to Make It
Ingredients:
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 1 lb. sirloin steak (1 1/2-in. thick), cut into 2 pieces
- 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
- Kosher salt and pepper
- 12 oz. cauliflower florets
- 1 1/4 c. curly parsley (including stems), roughly chopped
- 1 c. mixed-color cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 Persian cucumbers, sliced
- 3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
Instructions:
- Start by heating some oil on medium-high. Season the steak with coriander and 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper. Then, cook until you get the desired doneness. If you prefer medium-rare, it should take about three to five minutes per side. Place the cooked steak on a cutting board, let it cool for about five minutes, and then slice it up.
- In the meantime, put the cauliflower in a food processor and chop finely. You should get about 2 1/2 cups. Put the “tabbouleh” in a large bowl.
- Use the food processor again to chop the parsley. Add it to the cauliflower with the cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, lemon juice, red onion, cumin, and 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper. Mix everything and serve alongside your steak.
