Cauliflower Steak with Mushroom Sauce - Vegetarian
Introducing the Char-Grilled Cauliflower Medallions with Savory Mushroom Glaze, a vegetarian dish that’s as visually enticing as it is delicious. Each cauliflower ‘steak’ is meticulously cut to mimic the thickness of traditional steaks and seared to perfection to create a delectably charred exterior. Paired with a rich, earthy mushroom sauce, it’s a gourmet dish that satisfies both the palate and the eclectic culinary desires of modern epicures.
Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch thick slices, resembling steaks.
Brush both sides of each cauliflower steak with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
He at a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear cauliflower steaks for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the cauliflower for 15 minutes, or until tender.
While the cauliflower roasts, heat a saucepan with the remaining olive oil.
Add mushrooms and sauté until they start to release their juices. Season with salt and black pepper, then add garlic and thyme, cooking for an additional minute.
Pour in vegetable broth and balsamic vinegar, bring to a simmer and let the sauce reduce until thickened, about 10 minutes.
Serve the roasted cauliflower steaks with the mushroom sauce drizzled over the top.
