Brad's flank steak w/ pumpkin risotto & smoky cauliflower mash step by step

Lay steak out on a cutting board. Crust heavily with the salt and spices. Both sides. Set aside while prepping rest of dinner..

Place cauliflower in a small pot, half cover with water. Add chicken bouillon. Bring to a simmer. Stir often until water is almost gone. About a 1/4 inch left. Add rest of the cauliflower ingredients and mash. I usually keep a little texture to it and not mash it into a puree..
Heat 2 lg fry pans and a grill..
Place steak on the grill. For my rare I grill over fairly hi heat about 6 minutes per side. But prepare steak to your liking. When done cooking, let meat rest 6-8 minutes before slicing..
Melt butter for the saute. Add leeks and mushrooms. Season with the same thing the steak got seasoned with. Saute about 5 minutes. Add chick peas. Saute until leeks and mushrooms are done. Deglaze pan with cream sherry. Cook until almost completely evaporated. Remove from heat..
Melt butter for risotto. Add rice. Cook until rice just starts to brown. Add wine. From this point you pretty much need to stir constantly. When wine gets absorbed, add chicken stock 1 cup at a time, stirring until absorbed each time. When you add the last cup of stock, add pumpkin puree, 1 tsp salt, and nutmeg. Stir until rice is tender. When rice is tender, remove from heat. Add 1 tbs butter and Parmesan cheese. Stir until incorporated..
When everything is done, arrange on plates. Slice flank steak across the grain and on a bias. Under a half inch thick. Serve steak over leek saute. Garnish risotto with more parmesan. Serve immediately. Enjoy..
