Preparation

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-heat. Season the steaks with Montreal Steak Seasoning (yeah, Martha calls for salt and pepper….sucker). Place in skillet, and cook until medium rare, 5-6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil. Hang on to that skillet.
Add cauliflower, garlic, and 1/2 c water to skillet; season with salt and pepper this time. Cooking, tossing occasionally, until cauliflower is browned and crisp-tender, 8-10 minutes. (I didn’t have any problem with the bottom of the pan getting too dry, but the recipe says you can add 1/4 more water).
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice and oil; season with lame salt and pepper. Add arugula, hot cauliflower, and Parmesan cheese to dressing in bowl; toss to wilt that arugula. Steak steaks and veggies together. You can garnish it with lemon wedges, if you’ve got them handy.
