Ingredients

1.5 pound sirloin steak (cut into 1-inch cubes)
16 ounce button mushroom (whole)
3 tablespoon olive oil (divided)
4 clove garlic (minced)
1.5 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
1 teaspoon salt (divided)
0.5 teaspoon black pepper (divided)
1 head cauliflower (chopped into florets)
0.5 cup chicken broth
1 pound asparagus (tough ends trimmed)
8 wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
In a large bowl, combine the cubed sirloin steak, whole button mushrooms, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat evenly and let marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F).
While steak marinates, cook the cauliflower. Place cauliflower florets in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-15 minutes until very tender. Drain thoroughly.
Return the drained cauliflower to the empty pot. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, chicken broth, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth and creamy. Keep warm.
Thread the marinated steak and mushrooms alternately onto the skewers.
Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the steak reaches desired doneness (internal temperature 135-140°F for medium-rare).
While skewers are grilling, toss asparagus with 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Grill alongside the skewers for 5-7 minutes, turning once, until tender-crisp and lightly charred.
Serve the grilled steak and mushroom skewers immediately with the smashed cauliflower and grilled asparagus.

Notes

If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can cook the skewers in a grill pan on the stovetop or broil them in the oven. For a medium-rare steak, ensure the internal temperature is 135-140°F.
