Ingredients

2 servings

1 large head cauliflower
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt

For the brown butter

4 tbsp unsalted butter
10 fresh sage leaves
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

For serving

1 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem flat so the head sits level. Stand the cauliflower upright and slice it from top to stem into two 1-inch-thick center steaks. Reserve any florets that fall away for another use.
2
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season both sides of each cauliflower steak with the salt. Add the steaks to the skillet and sear undisturbed for 4 minutes, until the underside is deep golden brown and releases easily from the pan.
