Recipe Steps

Step 1
In a pot, combine the cauliflower rice and heavy cream. Place a lid on the pot and bring it to a strong simmer. Once there, drop in HALF of the first amount of butter. Leave the lid off, stir the melted butter into the rice, and continue to simmer openly as the pot reduces.Step 2
After about 5 minutes of simmering, stir in the other half of the butter. Stir in the salt, first amount of pepper, first amount of garlic, and onion powder. Allow the creamed cauliflower rice to reduce until it has a consistency of loose mashed potatoes without being liquidy, as pictured.Step 3
Set the rice aside to cool and set. Prepare 2, 5-ounce filet mignon steaks by sprinkling a pinch of seasoned salt, pepper, and garlic powder over the top of each.Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Place the steaks in the hot oil, seasoned side down, and cook for at least 5 minutes per side. You may also wish to use a pair of tongs to rotate and sear the sides of the steaks as well. Filet mignon is best served medium rare, but you can certainly cook for longer. Adjust your heat as necessary and use a lid on the pan to helps cook the steaks through more.Step 5
Transfer the steaks aside to rest and give your pan a light wipe clean. Melt the second amount of butter into the same pan over low heat to deglaze it. Then, stir in the heavy cream, the basil, the equivalent of 2 sprigs of thyme, and the equivalent of 2 sprigs of tarragon.Step 6
Once the sauce has emulsified, stir in the parmesan on a low heat. Once the parmesan melts and the sauce thickens, remove the pan from the heat. Served your filet mignon over the creamed cauliflower rice and drizzle the parmesan sauce all over.

Since I'm in korea I had to forgo the onion, garlic powder and replace it with the actual onions and garlics. I also replaced the thyme, basil option with scallions. Still tasted great though. Love the cauliflower rice. It was my first time trying it and I wasn't disappointed.

Is the cauliflower boiled prior to adding in the pan or raw ?

Why does the photo depict chicken? Those are clearly not filets.

What’s the difference between the heavy cream and then the second heavy whipping cream? I can’t find one in the grocery store that just says heavy cream

Whipping cream

Heavy cream & whipping cream are the same! Varied names is just a technical error in the recipe here. Hope this helps!

Isn't this too much calorie wise to eat for one serving? It looks absolutely delicious though....

Fat has 9 calories per gram, so the calories can add up quickly in a high-fat diet. Between the creamed cauliflower and sauce, this is a high-fat meal.

Tried this for the first time and so easy to make. I’m not the greatest cook but this came out amazing fool proof.
