    When I have people over, I try to make dinners that no one would suspect was “keto”. This was a success for sure.

    **Cowboy Butter**

    * 1 stick unsalted Butter
    * 2 tsp Paprika
    * 1/2 tsp Cayenne
    * 1 tsp Chili flakes
    * 2 cloves Garlic – crushed
    * 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
    * 1 tablespoon chopped Chives
    * 1/2 tablespoon chopped parsley
    * 1 Lemon – zest and juice
    * 1 tsp Salt
    * 1/2 tsp Black pepper
    * 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

    Melt butter in a pan on low heat. Add all ingredients listed above and whisk well to combine. Remove from heat and set aside at room temperature until ready to serve.

    **Steak Bites**

    For the Steak, I used ribeye. Slice into large bite-sized pieces. Season heavily with salt and pepper then sear on all sides in a stainless steel or cast-iron pan (if you don’t have one, non-stick will work, just won’t sear as well). Remove the meat from the pan and coat with your cowboy butter. Serve with the mashed garlic cauliflower (below).

    **Mashed Garlic Cauliflower**

    * 16 oz Frozen Cauliflower (I just use two 12 oz bags)
    * 2 oz. Cream Cheese (softened)
    * 1/8 tsp. chicken base/bouillon (not liquid)
    * 1/8 tsp. ground pepper
    * 3 tablespoon butter
    * 1/4 cup Parmesan
    * 1-2 cloves sautéed or roasted garlic
    * Chives or spring onion for garnish

    Steam cauliflower in the microwave (I use the steam-in-bag kind)
    Open them up immediately (don’t wait the minute or so they tell you to on the package) and let the steam escape. Dump into a food processor or immersion blender.

    Add your seasonings and flavors, cheese, garlic, etc. I would avoid using any liquid in this like heavy cream, we want the mash to be fluffy, not wet.

    Funny how simple ideas elude me. Steak bites like a solid quick middle of the week meal.

    Looks very tasty. My daughter is obsessed with cowboy butter on steak! I think I will have to do this with some venison as I can’t have beef. This might be going on my meal plan the week after next!

    Some mushrooms would go well with this
