Cabbage Steaks: Crispy Edges, Tender Heart, Zero Fuss
Imagine thick, golden cabbage rounds sizzling in the oven—caramelized edges, buttery center, and a shower of melted cheese that turns the humble head of cabbage into steak-house royalty. This is the side dish that steals the show at weeknight dinners, holiday tables, or anywhere you want “wow” without work.
A quick crank with the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater gives fluffy Parmesan snow—uniform, fast, and safe. That’s all the magic you need.
🛒Ingredients (Serves 4 as a side)
1 large green or red cabbage
3 tbsp olive oil
½ cup Parmesan (block for best melt)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt & cracked black pepper
Optional: balsamic glaze, fresh herbs
👩🍳Step-by-Step: Cabbage Steaks in 4 Cranks
1. Season Like a Pro
Brush both sides with olive oil. Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Lay steaks on a lined baking sheet.
2. Cheese It Up
Lock the hand crank cheese grater with its suction base. Pop in the coarse blade. One smooth crank over the block → fluffy Parmesan rain. Pile high on each steak.
3. Roast & Revel
Slide into a hot oven. Edges crisp, cheese bubbles, center turns fork-tender. Drizzle with balsamic or scatter herbs right before serving.
🔥Tips & Twists
Steak-House Style – Top with crumbled bacon.
Vegan Glow-Up – Nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
Spicy Kick – Dust with chili flakes pre-roast.
Make-Ahead – Slice with Geedel a day early; refrigerate in a single layer.
Kid-Approved – Cut into mini rounds for “cabbage coins.”
🌟Conclusion: The Steak That Grew in the Garden
These Cabbage Steaks don’t just prove that vegetables can be the star of the meal—they redefine what a simple side dish can be. Crisp, cheesy, and packed with depth (thanks to that caramelized edge and savory seasoning), every bite is stupidly satisfying—hearty enough to stand next to grilled chicken or roast beef, but light enough that you won’t feel weighed down. Gone are the days of veggies playing “second fiddle” to meats; this dish holds its own, with a texture that’s comforting and a flavor that feels intentional. With the cheese shredder, every sprinkle is snow-flake light.
