Ingredients
• 1 Large Head of Cabbage: Cut into thick, 1-inch rounds.
• 1 lb Ground Beef: Seasoned with garlic, salt, and pepper.
• Tomato Sauce: A few tablespoons to top each “steak”.
• Shredded Mozzarella or Cheddar: For that “addictive” melted finish.
• Olive Oil: For roasting the cabbage base.
• Fresh Parsley: Chopped for garnish.
Preparation Method
1. Prep the Base: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the cabbage rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
2. Season the Meat: In a bowl, mix your ground beef with your favorite spices (onion powder and smoked paprika go great here).
3. Assemble: Form the beef into flat patties and place one on top of each cabbage round.
4. First Bake: Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes until the cabbage is tender and the beef is mostly cooked through.
5. The “Addictive” Topping: Remove from the oven, add a spoonful of tomato sauce to each patty, and cover generously with shredded cheese.
6. Final Melt: Return to the oven for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
7. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
