Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 200°F / 95°C to keep the finished roll-ups warm if needed. Bring a pot of water with a pinch of salt to a boil for the cauliflower.
- 2
Boil the cauliflower florets for 10 to 12 minutes, until very tender. Drain well and let the steam escape for 2 minutes to prevent a watery mash.
- 3
While the cauliflower cooks, season the beef steaks on both sides with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
- 4
Divide the fresh spinach over the beef steaks and place the provolone cheese on top. Roll each steak up gently but tightly and secure with toothpicks if needed.
- 5
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roll-ups for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until well browned and the cheese starts to melt. Transfer them to the oven at 200°F / 95°C to keep warm.
- 6
In the same skillet, reduce to medium heat and add 25 g butter, 2 minced garlic cloves, and the fresh rosemary. Cook for 30 to 45 seconds, stirring, until fragrant but not browned. Add the lemon juice and turn off the heat.
- 7
For the mash, place the drained cauliflower in a processor or mash by hand. Add the heavy cream, Parmesan, the remaining 3 garlic cloves grated or very finely chopped, the remaining 25 g butter, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Blend until creamy. Adjust with salt and pepper to taste.
- 8
Spoon the garlic cauliflower mash onto each plate. Top with the beef roll-ups and finish with the rosemary butter from the skillet. Serve hot.
- 9
If you prefer the beef more fully cooked, after searing the roll-ups bake them for 5 minutes at 375°F / 190°C before serving.
Chef tips
Drain the cauliflower very well before blending for a thick, silky mash. If the steaks are too thick, cover them and pound them lightly before filling.
Substitutions
You can swap provolone for low-moisture mozzarella or Swiss cheese. Spinach can be replaced with tender chard that has been sautéed and well drained. If you do not have fresh rosemary, use 1 teaspoon dried rosemary.
