Teriyaki Cabbage Steaks
Description
The Teriyaki Cabbage Steaks recipe centers on thick crosswise slices of green cabbage that are grilled slowly until tender. The cabbage is brushed with an oil and seasoned with salt and pepper before grilling, then finished with a rich teriyaki sauce combining soy sauce, mirin, honey, fresh ginger, garlic, brown sugar, and sesame oil. This sauce is cooked to dissolve the sugars before application. Grilling over moderately high heat for around 40 to 45 minutes softens the cabbage and allows it to absorb smoky flavors, while the final glazing and brief cooking caramelize the sauce on the surface. The resulting steaks have a tender texture with browned edges and a balance of sweet and savory tastes.
The finished cabbage steaks are served hot with lemon wedges to add brightness, alongside a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions for textural contrast and a fresh note. This dish fits well as a vegetarian main or side, offering a hearty alternative for vegetable lovers or for those seeking plant-forward options with bold flavors.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves minced minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated fresh
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 green cabbage cored and cut crosswise into 11/2-inch slices, or white cabbage
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- salt
- ground black pepper
For serving:
- lemon wedges
- sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons green onion chopped
Instructions
- Heat the grill to moderately high heat, place the rack about 4 inches from the flame.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the soy sauce, water, and mirin and cook until the mixture begins to boil, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and whisk in the honey, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Brush the cabbage steaks with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Start grilling the cabbage, turning occasionally, for 40 to 45 minutes or until tender.
- Keep an eye on it and pierce it with a sharp knife to see it is tender. Once it starts getting tender, brush it liberally with the teriyaki mixture and continue to cook, turning once or twice and brushing with more of the sauce, until it’s browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Drizzle the cabbage with any remaining teriyaki sauce, and serve it immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
