What is a Steak?

A steak is a meat generally sliced across the muscle fibers, mostly with a bone and is usually grilled. It is very popular here among the locals and is considered an exotic dish. These days there are many vegan and vegetarian options. You can make it using chickpeas , cauliflower, mushrooms, mock meats. This is my first attempt to make Oven roasted Cauliflower steak and it is a hit. I will experiment with different flavors now.

Ingredients:

• Cauliflower—Star Ingredient of this Recipe
• Extra virgin Olive Oil—-I love to use Olive Oil when I roast veggies
• Leaves of the Cauliflower–Cauliflower was fresh and leaves were tender too.
