Ingredients
- 1 small head cauliflower (about 1 1/2 pounds), cored and cut into florets
- 4 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil

- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Directions

Quick Tip
For a rich, caramelized sear, take the steaks out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking so they can come to room temperature.
