Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 small flat iron steaks (5 to 6 ounces each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 head cauliflower (about 2 1/2 pounds), cored and cut into small florets
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 bunches arugula (about 10 ounces total), thick stems removed
1 ounce Parmesan, shaved with a vegetable peeler (1/4 cup)

Steps:

Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Place in skillet, and cook until medium-rare, 5 to 6 minutes per side (reduce heat if browning too quickly). Transfer to a cutting board (reserve skillet), and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Add cauliflower, garlic, and 1/2 cup water to skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until cauliflower is browned and crisp-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. (If bottom of skillet becomes too dry, add 1/4 cup more water.)
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice and oil; season with salt and pepper. Add arugula, hot cauliflower, and Parmesan to dressing in bowl; toss (arugula will wilt). Serve steaks and vegetables together; garnish with lemon wedges.
