Roasted Cauliflower Steaks

Crisp and tender Roasted Cauliflower Steaks with vegan Worcestershire sauce – my take on the vegetarian version of the steak recipe with cauliflower. A great plant-based entree to jazz up your party!

I am participating in the three-day blogging-marathon and the theme for this week is – Explore Southern Hemisphere Countries and Cuisine. When I explored Latin-American cuisine, I bookmarked quite a few recipes. But I never got a chance to post it on the blog. So took advantage of this theme and posting them all now.

Today’s recipe is not from the bookmarked list though. :-)

Australia is one of the major countries in the southern hemisphere and I when I asked my friend who is living there for vegetarian recipes, she suggested this steak recipe and few other baked goodies as well. I love cauliflower, and my recent obsession with vegan Worcestershire sauce made me try this steak recipe right away.

Perfect Low-Carb Option

It’s a perfect recipe for all the low-carb diet followers. I went with the vegan Worcestershire sauce, but you can use any sauce of your choice and roast this cauliflower. It’s a versatile recipe, and you can build and add flavors of your choice. Serve this cauliflower steak with a simple spinach salad to make it a complete meal.

Alternatives for Vegan Worcestershire Sauce

Traditional Worcestershire sauce contains anchovies, so I went with the vegan version of the sauce.   Worcestershire sauce adds that umami flavor to the recipe. If you can’t source vegan Worcestershire sauce, you can mix an equal amount of soy sauce, tamarind paste and sugar to make a quick alternative to build that umami flavor.

The recipe is super simple. You cut the cauliflower into steaks, brush the sauce on the steaks and roast in the oven. That’s it. Now let’s see how to cut the cauliflower into steaks.

How to Cut Cauliflower Steaks

• • Remove the cauliflower leaves and also trim the stem, like below. Place it upside down on the cutting board.

• Using a large knife, cut right through the center of the cauliflower stem, and divide it into two halves.

• Now cut each half into two, approx. 1 ¼ inch thick slices. If the cauliflower head is big, you can get four steaks from one head. I used a medium sized one and got two steaks from it. The florets from the last slice did not stay intact.  You can save them and use it for other recipes. Stay tuned for what I made with them.

Once you have this ready, you can make this recipe in no time.

Here comes the delicious vegetarian steak recipe with cauliflower.
