This showstopper-worthy purple cabbaged steak is seared, smothered in an incredibly umami miso butter, roasted till tender, and served with a creamy, tangy, herby sauce.

Believe it or not, you should always “burn” your cabbage. Not actually burn them to a blackened crispy but don’t be afraid of get a really good char on them! The natural sugar in cabbage caramelizes at high heat, giving your cabbage a wonderful charred note and depth of flavor.

The pan searing gives your cabbage steaks the char and caramelization, then we’ll get them nice and tender with oven roasting. And why use butter when you can really amp up the flavors with a rich, umami miso butter!

And finally, we’ll rest these gorgeous purple cabbage steaks on a bed of creamy, tangy, silken tofu “yogurt” sauce, finished with crispy roasted corn nuts for that crunch factor and one more layer of texture!
