Welsh Rarebit Style Cauliflower Steaks
 
 
Ingredients
  • 1 large head cauliflower, sliced lengthwise through the core into 4 “steaks”
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • For the Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¾ cup beef stock (or gluten-free dark beer)
  • 6 ounces (approximately 1½ cups) shredded Cheddar
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper. Roast cauliflower steaks for 15 minutes. Turn over each steak and continue roasting until tender and golden, 15 to 20 minutes more.
  2. While the cauliflower steaks roast, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and whisk in the sweet white rice flour. Cook, whisking constantly for 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper until smooth. Add beef stock and whisk to combine. Cook another 2 to 3 minutes, until mixture begins to thicken. Gradually add cheese, stirring constantly, until cheese melts and sauce is smooth; this will take 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the cheese sauce from the heat.
  3. Once the cauliflower steaks have roasted, remove them from the oven and preheat the broiler to high. Spread equal amounts of the cheese sauce over each cauliflower steak. Place under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes (check every 30 seconds or so to make sure they don’t burn), until the cheese sauce has browned. Serve immediately.
