These cabbage steaks are a show-stopping side dish that everyone will love! Made with slabs of hearty cabbage roasted with garlic and olive oil, then served with a drizzle of tahini-dill dressing, they’re easy to make and hard to resist.
I know at least someone out there is rolling his or her eyes saying something like “Oh my god, please stop naming vegan foods after meat!” This time I have a really good defense. Cabbage steaks seem to be a big non-vegan thing. I mean, they can be, and often are, vegan. These ones are. But I didn’t come up with the idea for cabbage steaks. I first saw them on Delish, which is totally not a vegan site (and their recipe is very non-vegan). And I’ve seen a bunch of other non-vegan sites post recipes for them since. So omnivores are calling vegetables steak. Don’t blame me for this one! Also, does this mean it’s okay to call all kinds of vegan foods steak? Like tofu, mushrooms and cauliflower? I say it does! What do Cabbage Steaks Taste Like?
Okay, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way let’s talk about cabbage steaks. If everyone out there (vegan or not) is calling them steak without reservation, they must be pretty good. I’ll admit, I was skeptical at first, but I promise, they’re delicious. The big question on everyone’s mind: do cabbage steaks taste like steak? It’s been a really long time since I’ve eaten steak, but I can confidently answer that question in the negative. Except maybe for the shape, cabbage steaks in pretty much no way whatsoever resemble (meat-based) steak. If it works better for you, feel free to think of this dish as a fun version of roasted cabbage, which is exactly what it tastes like. Roasted cabbage is tender, mellow and surprisingly a bit sweet! How to Make Cabbage SteaksStart by slicing your cabbage. Trim the base from your head of cabbage, then sit the cabbage on your cutting board with the cut side down. Now slice your cabbage into slabs that are about 1/2 inch thick, with the cuts running perpendicular to the stem. Cutting in this direction keeps your slabs from falling apart. Stir some olive oil and garlic together in, then drizzle or brush the mixture over both sides of each of your slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
Bake the slices until they’re tender and beginning to brown around the edges. While the cabbage steaks bake, whip up your dressing by mixing together some tahini, lemon juice, fresh dill, and salt. Thin it with as much water as you like.
Drizzle your cabbage steaks with the dressing before serving.

Recipe Notes*Smaller steaks, including end pieces of your cabbage, will cook faster. Start checking on your cabbage steaks after about 25 minutes, and remove the ones that are done first. I like to separate my cabbage steaks by size on a couple of baking sheets to make this easy. If you put them all on one baking sheet, use a spatula and be careful when removing them.
