cauliflower steak

Cruciferous center slice

A cauliflower steak is a thick cross-section slice cut from a whole cauliflower head, typically roasted or grilled as a vegetarian main course.

The cut preserves the stem, which holds the florets together in a slab resembling a cut of meat: The menu featured a roasted cauliflower steak with chimichurri.

The term reflects the trend of treating vegetables as centerpiece dishes rather than side items.
