Today’s Culinary Creation: Roasted Cauliflower Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

As the weather starts to warm up, I find myself craving light and fresh dishes that are bursting with flavor. Today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Roasted Cauliflower Steak with Chimichurri Sauce! This dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a flavorful weekend meal with friends.

To begin, gather the following ingredients:

  • 1 head cauliflower (800g)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

You will also need the following kitchen tools:

  • baking sheet
  • chef’s knife
  • blender
  • mixing bowl

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch thick slices to create the “steaks.” Place the cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the chimichurri sauce. In a blender, combine the parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Blend until smooth, then season with salt to taste.

Once the cauliflower steaks are done, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle the chimichurri sauce over the steaks, making sure to coat them evenly. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of this unique dish!

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 900g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs approximately 225g. The approximate calorie count per serving is 250 calories.

One clever tip for this dish is to sprinkle some toasted almond slices on top of the cauliflower steaks before serving. The crunchiness and nuttiness of the almonds add an extra layer of flavor and texture to the dish.

I hope you give this Roasted Cauliflower Steak with Chimichurri Sauce a try! Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite herbs and spices to make it your own. Enjoy!
