Cabbage Steaks au Poivre

We gave steak au poivre a vegetarian spin by using tender cabbage in place of the steak. Crushed black pepper and the classic brandy-based sauce both seep into the folds of the sweet roasted cabbage, making every bite special.

Ingredients

4 3/4-inch-thick slices green cabbage (from 1 medium head)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon salt, divided
2 teaspoons peppercorns, roughly crushed
¼ cup minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons brandy or cognac
¾ cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
½ cup half-and-half

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Brush both sides of cabbage slices with 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place on the prepared baking sheet, cover with foil and roast for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and flip the cabbage steaks. Sprinkle with crushed peppercorns; press to adhere. Roast, uncovered, until browned and tender, about 15 minutes more.
Meanwhile, when the cabbage has 15 minutes left in the oven, make the sauce: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and thyme; cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Add brandy (or cognac); cook, stirring, until almost evaporated, about 45 seconds. Add broth, half-and-half and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and reduced to about 2/3 cup, 8 to 10 minutes.
Serve the cabbage drizzled with the sauce.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
