Description
This recipe shows you how to cook thick-cut cabbage steaks using high heat to achieve a satisfying blistered exterior and tender interior, topped with salty feta cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove any loose outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage head vertically into four equal, thick ‘steaks,’ keeping the core intact to hold the layers together.
- Brush both sides of each cabbage steak generously with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.
- Place the seasoned cabbage steaks on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 20 minutes. Flip the steaks carefully.
- Continue roasting for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are deeply browned and blistered, and the center is tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the steaks from the oven. Arrange them on serving plates.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the hot cabbage.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the top of each steak before serving.
Notes
- To ensure the steaks hold together, cut them through the core. If your cabbage is very large, you may need to reduce the cooking time slightly.
- For extra char, you can finish the steaks under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes after roasting, watching closely to prevent burning.
- If you prefer a pan-seared method, sear the steaks in a hot, oiled cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes per side before finishing them in the oven.
