Ingredients

  • For the steaks:
  • 1 large head of cauliflower
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups panko
  • 1 1/2 cups cornmeal
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Vegetable oil for pan-frying
  • For the Sriracha sauce:
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha, or more to taste
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • Salt to taste
  • Chives for decoration

Method

  • To make the sauce, just mix all of the ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Trim the leaves from the cauliflower and trim the end of the stem but leave the core intact. Slice the cauliflower from the center into 4 "steaks" of about 1 to 1 1/2 cm thick.
  • Mix the panko, cornmeal, paprika, onion powder & salt in one plate. Place the flour on another plate and the beaten eggs on a separate plate.
  • Coat each cauliflower in the flour, then the egg and finally in the panko mixture.
  • Add some vegetable oil to a pan over medium heat. You'll need a bit more than 1/4 of a cup.
  • Once the pan is hot, add the cauliflower steaks. Cook until they are golden on both sides. This will take about 3 minutes per side. Place the steaks on a cutting board lined with paper towels to absorb some of the oil.
  • Serve the steaks with a drizzle of the sriracha sauce and some chopped chives.
