Cabbage Steak Meuniere

Cabbage Steak Meuniere

Recipe By Courtney Roulston

Ingredients

  • 1 medium-large Coles white cabbage (drumhead, savoy or sugarloaf)

  • sea salt and black pepper to taste 

  • 2 tbs Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

Meuniere Sauce

  • 75 g butter 

  • 1 tbs baby capers, rinsed, dried 

  • ¼ cup flaked almonds 

  • 2 tbs parsley, chopped, plus extra to serve

  • 1 lemon

Cooked using The Ziggy available at Barbeques Galore

Method

  • Cut two 1-inch thick steaks from the middle of the cabbage so the core holds them together-reserving the outer parts for another recipe.

  • Heat a BBQ plate or large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Drizzle the oil over the cabbage and season with sea salt. Cook on one side for 8-10 minutes, or until the cabbage has some nice charred colour. Turn the cabbage over and splash over 1-2 tsp of water or additional extra virgin olive oil on each steak to help them steam through. Cook for a further 6 minutes on the second side, or until the outside is charred and the center core is tender. 

  • Place a fry pan onto a medium heat and add in the butter. Once the butter starts to foam, add in the capers and almonds and allow them to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the almonds have browned. Add in a few strips of lemon zest and 2 tbs of lemon juice to stop the butter cooking. Stir in parsley and remove from the heat. 

  • Place the cabbage onto serving plates and spoon over the sauce and garnish with extra parsley and a lemon wedge on the side.

  • Serve with crusty bread and a fresh green salad.
