Keto Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Truffle Cauliflower Mash
Craving a high-end steakhouse dinner without the carb-heavy guilt? This Keto Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Truffle Cauliflower Mash is the ultimate solution for low-carb lovers who refuse to compromise on flavor. Steak is a fantastic source of high-quality protein and iron, essential for maintaining energy levels on a ketogenic diet, while the healthy fats from grass-fed butter support ketone production. The real star, however, is the Truffle Cauliflower Mash. By swapping starchy potatoes for cruciferous cauliflower, you slash the net carbs dramatically while adding fiber and essential vitamins like C and K. The addition of truffle oil transforms a humble vegetable into a luxurious, creamy side dish that rivals any fine dining restaurant. This meal proves that eating keto isn't about restriction; it's about elevating real food ingredients into something spectacular.
The Masterplan
Place cauliflower florets in a steamer basket over boiling water or in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water. Steam for 8-10 minutes until fork-tender.
While cauliflower steams, season the steak cubes generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot.
Add steak bites in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding). Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, minced garlic, and fresh rosemary to the skillet. Baste the steak bites with the melting butter for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove steak from pan and set aside to rest.
Drain the cooked cauliflower well. Place it in a food processor or blender.
Add cream cheese, heavy cream, parmesan, remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and truffle oil to the cauliflower.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the warm steak bites over a bed of truffle mash, drizzling the remaining garlic butter pan sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley.
