Eating cauliflower is something that never goes out of style. You can dice it, chop it, steam it, bake it, fry it, or eat it raw. This is why it is one of my favorite vegetables to have on hand.

Once I discovered how simple it was to make a cauliflower steak, I knew that I'd found another favorite way to cook up this healthy ingredient. It really is amazing the flavor that it can take from the simple added ingredients. And if you like a char on it, you can easily get that quickly, too!

When you're looking for something a bit more hearty than a salad for dinner, I have a feeling that this steak is going to fill you up plum full.

1. Cut off the bottom stem end from the cauliflower so that you create a flat base and can stand the cauliflower up on a cutting board. Resting the cauliflower on the stem, use a large, sharp knife to trim away the sides, then cut the remaining head into 2 or 3 1-inch “steaks, ” depending on the size of your cauliflower. Reserve the sides for another use.

3. Add about ¼ cup of water and salt into a large skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer, and add the cauliflower steaks. Cover with lid and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes (this helps to soften the cauliflower).

4. Remove the cauliflower steaks from the skillet and place them onto a baking sheet. Spread a generous amount of the spicy mayo on top. Bake at 400F for about 20-25 minutes, until the cauliflower steaks start getting brown spots.

The easiest way to change up this recipe is to vary up the seasonings that you use. If you want to make them spicy, add some more sriracha or even some chili flakes to the tops.

Another great option is to sprinkle on some salt and top with fresh cilantro or other fresh herbs as well. You can easily make each steak taste totally different depending on what type of herb that you want to add.

Wow, wow, wow… That’s all I could utter when I was devouring these cauliflower steaks for the first time. A long silence as I was lost for words (which doesn’t happen much). I might humbly add that this is one of the best recipes I’ve made. Light, crispy, bursting with flavours – it ticks all the boxes.

Cauliflower Steaks With Cauliflower Purée

My friend, who happened to pop by as I was photographing these cauliflower steaks for the blog, exclaimed that these were ‘the best vegan cauliflower steaks’ she had ever tried. And to be honest, if these were served to me at a restaurant, I would be the happiest girl! Whether you’re a vegetarian, vegan or meat lover, this recipe is for everyone.

First of all, choose a large, fresh and preferably organic cauliflower head. The larger your cauliflower, the more steaks you’ll be able to make out of it.

Cut off the bottom of the cauliflower and remove the leaves. Then slice the cauliflower into 1 inch thick steaks. Depending on the size of the cauliflower, you should be able to get 3-4 steaks. Save the cauliflower florets in a separate bowl – we will use them later.

These steaks go with pretty much any sauce – it really depends on what flavours you like and how hearty or light and fresh you want to make this recipe. By choosing to serve them with chimichurri sauce, which a combination of herbs, spices and olive oil, I wanted to intensify the Middle Eastern flavours of this dish whilst keeping it light and fresh.

*Once you’ve cut out the steaks, save the remaining florets in a separate bowl. There should be enough batter for dipping all the florets. They will make perfect bite size crispy vegan snacks. Just arrange them on a separate baking try and roast in the oven at the same time as the steaks.

*When cutting the cauliflower into steaks, make sure the steaks are quite thick (around 1 inch thick), otherwise they can break during cooking.

*Although you can skip the frying stage (if you’re making this recipe healthier), this is what gives the cauliflower steaks a perfect crunch. So, if you’re looking to get the maximum flavour out of the cauliflower steaks, I wouldn’t recommend skipping this stage.

To go with the Middle Eastern flavours of this dish, I chose to pair my cauliflower steaks with wholemeal pearl couscous, which worked perfectly. However, you can choose to serve them with your favourite grains or root vegetables, for instance:

What to serve with cauliflower steaks? I love the simplicity of roasted tomatoes and quinoa. This Savory Sauteed Kale or Vegan Collard Greens would be great too! And how about a good mac & cheese like this Baked Vegan Mac & Cheese or Vegan Mac & Cheese with Peas.

It’s best to use two baking sheets to prepare your cauliflower steaks. Using two will give you plenty of room for the steak slices to be turned over without too much crowding.

Feel free to use an already prepared seasoning. There are many good blends in the spice aisle these days. I would suggest looking for salt-free blends if possible and adding your own salt to taste. Look for creole, cajun, and blackening types of seasonings. It is also very easy to make your own so I have included a homemade version for those who prefer to prepare their own spice blends. Something for everyone, that’s a win, win!

Serve your cauliflower steaks with veggies, a grain, salad or soup for a hearty main meal. Here are a few of my favorite options:

Cauliflower steaks are an easy to make entree that is oven roasted with a flavorful cajun seasoning. Great paired with a grain of choice and simple veggies on the side.

Prep the Cauliflower: Place the cauliflower stem side down, and using a sharp knife cut into the top center and slice the cauliflower in half. You want to create as many cauliflower steaks as you can from the center cut out that will be at least 3/4 inch thick. The remaining sides and pieces can be cut into cauliflower nuggets and roasted alongside the steaks, or on a separate baking sheet. I feel it’s best to use two baking sheets to prepare this meal. Using two will give you plenty of room for the steak slices to be turned over without too much crowding.
