Tip: Actual cook time will vary depending on how thick and evenly the cabbage is sliced and the amount of moisture in the cabbage slices.

For best results, check after 30 minutes and adjust the final cooking time accordingly.

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 40-45 minutes
Serves: 6

Cabbage Steak Ingredients:

  • 1 large head of cabbage
  • 2 T extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 6 slices of thick-cut bacon, cooked crispy* and crumbled
  • 2 oz blue cheese, crumbled
  • 3 T fresh parsley

*A tip for crispy bacon is to start the bacon in a cold pan and add some water. Start with a tablespoon or two and cook over medium heat until the bacon is crisp but tender.

Blue Cheese Dressing Ingredients:

  • 1/2 C full fat sour cream
  • 2 T sugar-free mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce*
  • 1/2 small shallot, very finely minced
  • 2 oz blue cheese crumbles
  • 2 T heavy cream
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

*Worcestershire sauce contains a small amount of sugar. Omit if you are avoiding sugar completely.

Directions:

Place top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat to 400 F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat. Set aside.

Cut the stem off the cabbage head to create a flat surface on the bottom. Carefully slice the cabbage, top to bottom, into 1/2 inch sections.

Transfer the sliced cabbage to the prepared baking sheet without overcrowding. Lightly brush the cabbage with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, rotating the sheet once halfway through, or until the cabbage is nicely browned and crispy on the edges.

Once the cabbage is in the oven, prepare the dressing by combining the sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce (if using) shallot, blue cheese, and heavy cream in a medium bowl.

Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and whisk vigorously until thoroughly combined. Set aside.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and cool for several minutes. Drizzle each cabbage steak with some of the blue cheese dressing and top with the crumbled bacon and blue cheese.

Garnish with the fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
