Dinner at Home
Pan Fried Porterhouse with Garlic Herb Butter and Mashed Cheesy Cauliflour
Mashed cauliflour is our low carb version of mashed potatos and actually, I think that it tasted better than mashed potatos.
Steak
I poke the steaks with a fork on both sides and then marinate in worcestershire sauce and steak seasoning. Then I pan fry it in a mixture of butter and olive oil for about 5 minutes on one side and 2 on the other.
Herb Butter
-1/2 stick of butter
-3 cloves garlic, minced
-juice of 1/2 lemon
-1 handful of basil, minced
-pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients thoroughly and refrigerate.
Mashed Cauliflour
-1 head cauliflour, roughly chopped
-1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar
-1/4 cup grated parmasean
-1/4 cup cream
-1 tb butter
-salt and pepper to taste
Boil the cauliflour until tender. Drain fully and return to pot. Add cream and butter and puree. Add the cheeses, salt and pepper and stir over low heat until cheese is melted. Be careful to keep the heat very low as the consistency of the mash lends itself to big popping bubbles.
