Gremolata Strip Steak
with Cauliflower Mash and Warm Heirloom Tomatoes
- Tree Nuts
- Milk
Think of gremolata as pesto’s more rustic cousin. It features some of the same ingredients—herbs, almonds, and a good glug of olive oil—but it’s chopped by hand for a coarser texture and given a squeeze of lemon for additional tang. When drizzled onto strip steak, it provides a vivid contrast to the richness of the meat. Plus, it melds effortlessly into the creamy cauliflower mash and heirloom tomatoes on the side.

Cooking Steps
Wash and dry all produce. Peel potatoes, then cut into ¾-inch cubes. Place in a large pot along with cauliflower and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook until easily pierced by a knife, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to pot.
Meanwhile, finely chop half the parsley; pick leaves from other half and reserve. Mince garlic. Halve tomatoes. Halve lemon. Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add almonds and toast, tossing frequently, until a deep gold, 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan. Finely chop once cool, leaving a few larger pieces.
In a small bowl, mix chopped parsley, almonds, a pinch of garlic, a squeeze of lemon, and 2 TBSP olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice, to taste. TIP: Mixture should have a pesto-like consistency. Add another drizzle of olive oil, if needed, to loosen.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in pan used for nuts over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and remaining garlic. Cook, tossing, until tomatoes soften, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and cover to keep warm.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Pat steak dry with a paper towel. Season all over with salt and pepper. Cook to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes per side. Remove from pan and let rest 5 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain.
Add sour cream, 1 TBSP butter, and ¼ cup water to cauliflower and potatoes in pot. Place over low heat. Mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Divide mash and steak between plates. Top with tomatoes. Spoon gremolata over. Garnish with parsley leaves.
