Al Roker's Cast-Iron Rib-Eye Steak by Al Roker

Sometimes nothing hits the spot quite like a big, honkin' steak. The key to a great steak isn't anything fancy, but I do believe it's important to start off with a great cut of meat — then all you need is a little sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to make a wow-worthy meal. To kick things up a notch, I like to make a simple pan sauce with butter, garlic and rosemary as the steak rests.

Swapping starchy potatoes for a nice cauliflower mash is the way to go if you're watching carbs ... or if you just love this cruciferous veggie. Simmering the cauliflower in milk, plus adding lots of butter, creates a rich and creamy side that will be gone in minutes.
