Print Recipe

Make thick-cut cabbage steaks seared until blistered and tender, then finish them with a rich garlic butter sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head green cabbage
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
  2. 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.
  3. Lightly brush both sides of each cabbage steak with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat a large, oven-safe skillet (cast iron works well) over medium-high heat. Place the cabbage steaks in the hot, dry skillet. Sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deep brown spots and blistering appear.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. While the cabbage roasts, prepare the garlic butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant; do not brown the garlic. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
  7. Remove the skillet from the oven. Brush the hot garlic butter generously over both sides of the blistered cabbage steaks.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, you can sear the steaks in a regular pan and then transfer them to a baking sheet to finish cooking in the oven.
  • For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the garlic butter before serving.
  • If you prefer grilling, cook the steaks over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes per side until charred, basting with the garlic butter during the last few minutes of cooking.
