A soupy take on Cabbage Steaks.
Here’s an alternate recipe for the garlic & olive oil cabbage steaks that uses onion soup seasoning and swiss cheese to recreate the flavors of French onion soup on a sliced head of cabbage.
What exactly is a cabbage steak, you ask? These thick cuts of sliced cabbage are oven-roasted and make for the perfect weekday dinner or a complimentary side dish. And if you aren’t that big on cabbage, it’s probably just because you haven’t had it cooked right. Traditional methods of boiled cabbage can leave you with a bit of a boring dish, bitter flavors, and that unappetizing sulfurous smell. However, roasting the cabbage, in my opinion, brings out the best of cabbage, turning the cabbage into a melt-in-your-mouth texture with delicious caramelized flavor, which is only enhanced by the onion and beefy flavors this recipe calls for.

- In a small mixing bowl, mix olive oil, broth, vinegar, soup seasoning, onion powder, salt and black pepper together. Then brush the tops of each cabbage generously with the mix.
