Ingredients:

  • 1 medium head (approx. 2 lbs) Green Cabbage
  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Note: Doing this first ensures the pan is ready the moment the steaks are prepped.
  2. Slice the cabbage into 3/4 inch thick rounds. Make sure the core stays in each piece. Place them on the pan and brush both sides with olive oil. Note: The oil prevents sticking and starts the searing process.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together your melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the top of each steak. Don't be shy with the edges.
  5. Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan over the butter. Press the cheese down lightly with your fingers so it adheres to the cabbage.
  6. Roast on the center rack for 20 minutes until the edges are mahogany brown and the cheese is toasted.
  7. For an extra punch of color, broil for 60-90 seconds. Watch it like a hawk because the cheese can go from gold to burnt in seconds.
  8. Let them rest for 2 minutes before serving. This lets the juices settle so the steak stays together.
