1 small to medium head of cauliflower
2 cups halved small cherry tomatoes
1/2 small red onion finely minced

Method
- Cut your cauliflower into large florets and add to a food processor. Pulse until your cauliflower is a fine crumb (if you don’t have a food processor, you can use a box grater). Add your riced cauliflower to a large bowl.
- Add your chopped onion to a bowl of water to give them a milder taste, drain when ready to use.
- Put a tbsp of olive oil into a skillet over a medium low heat and add your pine nuts, toast until golden, ensuring not to burn.
- To the cauliflower add your tomatoes, cucumber, onion and herbs and toss together.
- To make the dressing whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper, and pour over your cauliflower mix. Top with fresh mint leaves, toasted pine nuts.

Ingredients 700 g grass-fed beef strips (sirloin, flank, or rump steak) 4 large portobello mushrooms (approx. 400 g total) 8 medium carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise (about 600 g) 2 bunches broccolini (approx. 400 g) 6½ tbsp olive oil total (≈ 97 mL) (2 tbsp for beef + 2 tbsp for mushrooms + 1½ tbsp for carrots + 1 tbsp for broccolini) 1 tbsp butter (14 g) 2 cloves garlic, minced (6 g) 1 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped (optional) 2 tsp salt total (≈ 12 g) (½ tsp for beef + ½ tsp for mushrooms + ½ tsp for carrots + ½ tsp for broccolini) 1¼ tsp black pepper total (≈ 5 g) 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (optional, 15 mL) 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, 7 g) Instructions 1. Roast the carrots and mushrooms Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) . Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Toss carrots with olive oil, salt, pepper, and honey/maple syrup if using. Spread on half of the tray. Place the portobello mushrooms on the other half, drizzle with olive oil and balsamic (if using), and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes , turning once halfway through. Mushrooms should be tender and juicy; carrots caramelized and golden. 2. Grill the beef While vegetables roast, heat a grill pan or barbecue over high heat . Toss beef strips with olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side , or until cooked to your liking (medium-rare to medium recommended). Rest for a few minutes before serving to keep tender and juicy. 3. Steam and fry the broccolini Bring a small pot of water to a boil, and lightly steam broccolini for 2–3 minutes until bright green. Drain well. Heat butter and olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat . Add the broccolini and sauté for 2–3 minutes , seasoning with salt and pepper until slightly crisp on the edges. 4. Serve Plate each portion with a serving of grilled beef strips, a whole roasted mushroom, a few roasted carrots, and a generous side of buttery broccolini. Drizzle any beef or mushroom juices over the top for extra flavor. Optional Garnish Sprinkle with fresh parsley or thyme before serving. Add a squeeze of lemon over the broccolini for brightness.
