Cauliflower has gone from the most loved side dish to the defender of the low-carb alternatives and anything in between. Its versatility makes it easy to serve more often without any complaint of "cauliflower again". There are many ways how to cook cauliflower while keeping it interesting. From cooking it whole, ricing, mashing, florets, and now a cauliflower steak.

Seared cauliflower steak and top with sauteed thinly sliced mushroom. sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

Cauliflower steak and mushrooms, some considered it as a meal on its own.

How to cook sauliflower steak?

When I make a cauliflower steak - First cut right through the middle of the cauliflower, making sure to keep the core intact. Cut into thick slices about 1-inch thick. Save the excess florets to make cauliflower rice, or include them in cooking and hide them when you take pictures for your social media. I treat this cauliflower steak like cooking a grand New York striploin. Add butter and olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, while seasoning the cauliflower with salt and pepper. As soon as the butter foam, add the cauliflower and let it sear until the bottom is nicely browned. Add more butter, smashed garlic cloves, and rosemary on one side. Turn the cauliflower upside down and keep basting the melted fragrant butter over the steak for at least a minute or so. Transfer to the preheated oven and finish cooking to your likeness while you start sautéing the mushrooms.

Top tip

I'm not a vegetarian but I always opt for one. Use cooking oil or olive oil in place of butter and omit Parmesan cheese or use nutritional yeast instead to make it completely vegan.
