Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.

## Ingredients

- 1 lb flank steak — sliced lengthwise. (450g) is the source parenthetical; original US quantity controls.

- 1 tbsp melted butter

- 3 count garlic cloves minced

- ½ cup chopped parsley

- 1 cup shredded mozzarella

- 1 head cauliflower — riced

- 2 tbsp olive oil

- 1 count small yellow onion — minced

- 1 count red bell pepper diced

- 1 count jalapeño pepper — seeds removed and minced

- ½ tsp fine grain sea salt

- ½ tsp onion powder

- ½ tsp garlic powder

- 1 tsp cumin

- 1 tsp chili powder

- 1 tsp paprika

- ¼ cup vegetable stock. (60ml) is the source parenthetical; original US quantity controls.

- Not specified Cilantro for garnish. Unquantified in source; use to taste or as optional garnish as stated. Unquantified amount remains unknown, not zero.

## Equipment

- Stovetop and large skillet

- Knife and cutting board

- Instant-read thermometer

- Food processor or grater, unless using ready-riced cauliflower

- Toothpicks for securing rolls

## Cook

Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.

1. **Step 1.** Mix the listed dry rice seasonings. Combine butter, minced garlic and parsley, brush over flank steak, add mozzarella and roll tightly. Secure with toothpicks and slice across the grain between picks.

2. **Step 2.** Sear rolls over high heat for about 3 minutes per side; continue until the center of each stuffed roll reaches 165°F, then reserve.

3. **Step 3.** In the same pan, heat oil and soften onion, bell pepper and jalapeño for about 3 minutes. Add cauliflower rice for 2 minutes, then dry seasonings and the ingredient-list quantity of stock. Reduce briefly.

4. **Step 4.** Return rolls to warm through and remove toothpicks before eating; finish with cilantro.

## Attention timeline

Stages can overlap; endpoints and appliance behavior override the estimate.

## Flavor and capacity

## Nutrition per serving

Calories: Not provided; protein: Not provided; total carbs: Not provided; fiber: Not provided; net carbs: Not provided

Source nutrition is reported only where its per-portion basis is supported. Unavailable totals are not estimated.

Known allergens for these plates: milk. Check product labels and cross-contact.

## First-cook checks and limits

- The publisher lists 648 calories without a serving size or complete nutrition breakdown; per-portion nutrition remains unreported.

- Source method lists cayenne, oregano, pepper and additional garlic without ingredient quantities, and contradicts stock quantity. This adaptation uses only listed measured spices and ¼ cup stock; missing unquantified extras are not invented.

- Source ingredient list says steak sliced lengthwise; keep strips wide enough to roll and secure, then cut rolls across the grain.

- Safety adaptation: stuffed beef roll centers must reach 165°F; the 145°F intact-steak endpoint does not apply. Follow the linked USDA FSIS guidance for stuffed meat. Continue beyond source sear time if needed.

- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.

- Adapted from Christina Cherrier. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.

- The source does not provide verified values for every per-portion macronutrient. Missing values stay unreported; a keto label from the publisher is not a verified net-carb total.

- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.

## Leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
