As most people these days are trying to reduce their intake of meat, here is a hearty, vegetarian meal idea to curb those meaty cravings.

The sauce does have dairy in it, however if you are vegan, there are lots of vegan creamed cheeses or cream out there to substitute with, to ensure it is catered to your dietary requirements.


Nowadays, you can actually find cauliflower steaks already prepared in the supermarket, however if you are preparing it yourself, it should be noted that only 2 steaks can be formed from 1 large cauliflower. As you only want the middle part of the cauliflower to ensure that the stalk is holding the steak intact, you will end up with the sides of the cauliflower to spare

This can be used for perhaps a mash, a curry or just simply roasted with some spices.



For 2 Steaks you will need:

  • 1 large Cauliflower

  • Oil to brush the Cauliflower Steaks – I used Garlic Oil

  • Salt & Pepper to season


For the Sauce:

  • 5-6 Diced Mushrooms

  • 2 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil or Butter

  • 1 Tbsp of Course Black Pepper or Peppercorns

  • A Few Tbsp of Vegetarian Stock

  • 2 Cloves of Garlic Crushed

  • 2 Tbsp of Cream Cheese – I used Garlic & Herb flavour but plain is fine too


Sides:

  • Fresh Rocket Leaves

  • Steamed Green Beans

  • Potato & Spinach Gratin – I purchased this from Marks & Spencer but you could just boil some potatoes for a less calorific side dish.



  1. To prepare the Cauliflower steak, wash the cauliflower and cut 2 x 1inch thick steaks from the middle of the cauliflower. Brush with the garlic oil (Or vegetable oil) and season with salt & pepper.

  2. Grill or fry this on a medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side.

  3. For the sauce, lightly fry the garlic till golden brown in some vegetable oil or butter.

  4. Add the mushrooms, stock, black pepper and simmer on a low heat till the mushrooms have softened.

  5. Add the cream cheese and reduce till it’s thick and creamy.
