INGREDIENT NOTES:
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- It works as a flavorful binding agent. Skip it or use the flour of almonds to go non-dairy.
CABBAGE:
- Pick the green cabbage & slice it into quarters to have 4 steaks. You may opt for the Napa/Savoy cabbage as an alternative.
SEASONINGS:
- Use herbs, powdered onion & garlic to season both of the items. You can use powdered mustard for deep flavor, or Chili flakes to make it extra spicy.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- It will give you the melty feel & sharp flavor. You may go for Monterey Jack, Mozzarella, or a dairy-free cheese for the vegan version.
BEEF:
- Ground beef with 20% fat will work fine for the patties to be juicy. Use vegan ground meat to have a vegan version. Otherwise, go for ground chicken/turkey in place of beef.

DIRECTIONS:
- Warm up the empty oven at 200 degrees C and get to work.
- First of all, spread a sheet of parchment on the baking tray & set it aside.
- Now, pick the washed & dried green cabbage.
- Lay it out on a chopping board & use the knife(sharp) to divide the cabbage into quarters.
- Then, apply oil on every side of each steak.
- Sprinkle the paprika, salt, powdered garlic, & powdered pepper to season the cabbage.
- Put the items on the baking pan & move them to the oven, which is already heated.
- Roast them for a total of twenty minutes while turning the sides after the first ten minutes.
- Meanwhile, start making the beef patties.
- Include the egg, ground beef, salt, herbs, parmesan, powdered onion, garlic, & pepper in a big bowl.
- Mix them to incorporate all the items well.
- Divide the mixture into 4 portions & make the patties from them.
- Place a skillet/frying pan over a normal-high flame.
- Then place the patties in that heated oil.
- After ~ five minutes, turn the patties & cook them for the next five mins.
- Till then, the patties are tender, so dish them out on a serving plate.
- As your cabbage steaks are done inside the oven, take them out.
- Cover the steaks with the grated cheese & place them in the oven
- Wait for the cheese to melt, then start serving.
- Keep a beef patty on a serving plate along with a beef patty on top.
- Use a dollop of sour cream or fresh herbs as a topping.
- Now your cheesy Cabbage Steak & Beef Patty is ready to serve.
TIPS:
- Make sure to cut the evenly thick slices of cabbage so they will roast evenly.
- Top with cheese after roasting so that it will give you the creamy, melty finish. If you top with cheese before roasting the cabbage, it may burn & become hard.
- The meat thermometer should read 71 degrees C to know that the beef patties are done cooking.
