Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs sirloin or ribeye steak, trimmed
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (full-fat, no added sugar)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 tbsp green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 small clove garlic
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the steak. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
  2. Prepare the Cauliflower Potato Salad: Steam cauliflower florets until tender but still firm, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, chopped eggs, diced celery, green onions, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper, then gently toss to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Make the Avocado Cilantro Dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed. Keep chilled until serving.
  4. Prepare the Garlic Bread: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, salt, and dried parsley. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and melted butter together, then stir in minced garlic. Combine wet and dry ingredients until a dough forms. Spread dough evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet, about 1/2 inch thick. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Slice into pieces and keep warm.
  5. Grill the Steak and Asparagus: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill steak for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until desired doneness (use a thermometer if possible). Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Place asparagus on the grill perpendicular to the grates or use a grill basket. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Grill for 3-5 minutes until tender with grill marks.
  6. Plate and Serve: Slice steak against the grain and arrange on a platter. Serve with cauliflower salad, grilled asparagus, garlic bread, and a drizzle of avocado cilantro dressing. Enjoy your Father’s Day BBQ feast!

Notes

Marinate steak for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor. Use a meat thermometer to achieve perfect doneness (130°F for medium rare). Steam cauliflower until tender but firm to avoid mushy salad. Spread almond flour garlic bread dough thinly for a crispy crust. Grill veggies perpendicular to grates to prevent falling through. Prepare salad and dressing ahead to save time. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
