Last Saturday my husband worked his behind off in our backyard so I wanted to make my hard working man a "hungry mans" meal! Meat and potatoes! I bought some grass fed steaks at Whole Foods and used this recipe for the garlic/soy marinade. I let the steaks sit in the marinade while I cleaned up dishes from earlier and got my kitchen ready for the sides.
I started by quartering some red potatoes and then threw them on a parchment lined cookie sheet before drizzling w/ olive oil, salt, pepper and a generous amount of rosemary. I roasted these at 400 for about 30-40 minutes or so, tossing them every 15ish minutes so they didn't stick.
After I got the potatoes in the oven, I rinsed and roughly chopped a head of cauliflower. I found a recipe for this a while back but now I just eyeball everything. Put the cauliflower pieces in a bowl and pour some olive oil, the juice of half a lemon (or more if you like strong lemon flavor), fresh sliced garlic, salt and pepper. Toss it all up and then throw it on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Roast at 400 for about 20 minutes or so, until the cauliflower is at least fork tender. Just watch it so it doesn't burn.
Once the potatoes and cauliflower were about 10 minutes from being done, I threw one bunch of roughly chopped kale into a saucepan with some minced garlic and about a half cup of water. The kale barely fits into my largest saucepan but it steams and cooks down rather quickly, just like spinach.
Finally I cooked the steaks on my griddle pan on the stove. On the rare occasion that we have steaks, my husband usually barbecues them but since he was working so hard in our backyard, I wasn't about to ask him to stop and bbq.
This meal was a little bit time consuming from start to finish but it was well worth it! Husband was happy!
