Ingredients

Scale

Cabbage Steaks

  • 1 firm green or savoy cabbage (about 1.5 to 2 pounds)
  • 3 tablespoons high-quality olive oil, divided
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Mustard Vinaigrette

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cabbage: Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Using a sharp chef’s knife, slice the cabbage into thick steaks about 1 to 1.5 inches wide, cutting directly through the core to ensure the steaks hold together during roasting.
  2. Roast the Cabbage: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the cabbage steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Drizzle olive oil generously on both sides of each steak, ensuring to coat the edges well. Season with salt and black pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and caramelized.
  3. Make the Mustard Vinaigrette: While the cabbage roasts, whisk together Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and a splash of olive oil. Adjust seasoning to your taste by adding more vinegar for tang or more sweetener to balance sharpness.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Once the cabbage steaks are roasted, arrange them on a serving plate. Immediately drizzle with the mustard vinaigrette while they are still warm to allow the flavors to soak in. Garnish with fresh herbs or toasted nuts if desired, and serve right away for optimal taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife to ensure even, sturdy cabbage steaks for uniform cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow proper caramelization.
  • Flip cabbage steaks gently with a wide spatula to avoid breaking.
  • Roasting at a slightly lower temperature for longer can deepen flavor without burning.
  • Adjust the vinaigrette’s balance of acidity and sweetness to your liking before drizzling.
  • Store leftover cabbage steaks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; keep vinaigrette separate.
  • Avoid freezing roasted cabbage steaks, but you can freeze extra vinaigrette.
  • Reheat cabbage steaks gently in a skillet or oven rather than microwave to maintain texture.
