Preparing steak and cauliflower is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to create a delightful meal:

1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Massage the mixture into the steak and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
3. Prepare the Cauliflower: Toss the cauliflower florets in a bowl with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
4. Roast the Cauliflower: Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
5. Cook the Steak: While the cauliflower roasts, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the marinated steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time to your desired doneness.
6. Rest the Steak: Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
7. Plate the Dish: Arrange the roasted cauliflower on a plate, slice the steak, and place it alongside the cauliflower.
8. Garnish: Drizzle with lemon juice if desired and sprinkle fresh parsley on top for added flavor and color.

By following these steps, you’ll create a beautiful and delicious dish that showcases the wonderful marriage of steak and cauliflower.
