What is a Cauliflower Steak?
Cauliflower steak is simply top of cauliflower that is cut into larger slabs. Because it is larger, it takes a little longer to roast, and looks more impressive on a plate. The dish can serve as a main course for a vegan or vegetarian meal or can be used between bread or inside a bun. One can also use it as a base for other toppings, like Cauliflower Steak Pizza.
