Ingredients
- Cabbage, sliced 3cm thick
- Salt, 4 pinches
- Black pepper, 2 pinches
- Mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup
- Butter, 2 tablespoons
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, slice the cabbage into thick, steak-like pieces, about 3cm thick. This thickness is important for a good texture and to prevent it from falling apart. To help the cabbage hold its shape while grilling, insert toothpicks in a few places to secure the layers.
Step 2
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted, place the prepared cabbage slices into the pan. Season them with 4 pinches of salt and 2 pinches of black pepper. Keep the heat low and cover the pan with a lid. This steaming effect will help the cabbage cook through to the center and become tender quickly.
Step 3
Once the bottom side of the cabbage is cooked and slightly browned, carefully flip the slices over. Season the other side with salt and pepper as well. Now, for the best part – generously sprinkle your desired amount of mozzarella cheese over the cabbage. Cover the pan again with the lid and continue to cook over low heat until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly. The melting cheese will create a delicious, savory coating.
Step 4
When the mozzarella cheese is beautifully melted and gooey, your Cabbage Steak is ready! It looks impressive enough to earn its ‘steak’ title. For an extra touch of flavor, try serving it with some whole grain mustard. The natural sweetness of the grilled cabbage, combined with the rich, creamy mozzarella cheese and the tangy mustard, makes for a truly delicious experience. You could even consider this a healthy vegan steak! It’s a wonderful, wholesome dish that’s perfect for when you want something nourishing and satisfying, even if you don’t make it too often.
