Skirt Steak with Preserved Lemon Butter and Sesame Cauliflower Directions
Preserved Lemon Butter
- Finely chop preserved lemon, butter, thyme, and lemon zest on a cutting board, mashing into a smooth paste. Transfer to a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
Do Ahead: Preserved lemon butter can be made three days ahead. Cover and chill.
Cauliflower and Steak
- Preheat oven to 425°. Alternatively, you can use a griddle plate on your preheated gas grill.
- Toss cauliflower and 2 Tbsp. of oil on a large, rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until cauliflower is golden brown and edges are crisp, 30–35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine garlic, lemon juice, sesame seeds, and 1 Tbsp. of oil in a small bowl; set aside.
- Season steaks with salt and pepper and grill to the desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and top with preserved lemon butter. Let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
- Drizzle the reserved sesame seed mixture over the cauliflower, scatter the parsley over, and toss to combine. Serve the steaks with the cauliflower and any remaining preserved lemon butter alongside.
