Cauliflower Steak
May 17, 2025 03:22 AM
There I go again, treating vegetables like they’re steaks! I don’t know if you’ve spent much time staring at the red meat options in the grocery store, but I’m not about to throw down that kind of money if pay day’s feelin’ like it’s miles away. This Cauliflower Steak recipe may lack the protein a traditional steak does, but it’s a flavor-packed showstopper, and easy to pair with baked beans, wilted greens, and 100 other sides that contain plenty of protein for far less moola. Not to mention, the gut-healthy fiber in this dish is going to fill you right up. Let’s get cookin’!
Stuck in a veggie rut? These marinated cauliflower steaks are a fun way to shake things up. Sliced thick with the core intact to create each “steak” and seasoned like a pro (I use smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper for a savory steak-like flavor), the cauliflower is baked in a cast iron skillet in the oven to create the BEST seared, caramelized crust.
I’m talking tender, not mushy, cauliflower steaks that seriously hold their own on the dinner table. Serve them as a hearty vegetarian or vegan main or alongside your fave dishes as a standout side.
