Introduction

Rubbed with treacle and cured with salt, these thick cut steaks are a bacon lover’s dream. Enjoy with cauliflower steaks for a little crunch and piccalilli for an extra kick in this quick and easy family recipe.

Method

Method for Cauliflower Steak

Slice through the head of the cauliflower to create steaks, around 20 mm thick
Rub a little oil onto the cut surface of the cauliflower
Place flat side down into a pre heated non stick pan & cook for 4 to 5 minutes creating a rich golden crust, gently turn over and finish cooking for a minute or two longer, seasoning with the salt whilst cooking
Place to one side and keep warm

Method for Bacon Steaks

Preheat your griddle or heavy based frying pan until it sizzles when you add a drop of oil
Place the steaks in the pan or griddle fat side down, to render a little and become golden
Place onto flat side then cook over high heat turning the steak only once after a rich, golden crust has formed, reduce heat to medium when crust has formed
Cook 5 to 6 minutes each side until firm to touch
Finish by adding a small knob of butter whilst the bacon steak rests for a few moments

To Serve

Place the cauliflower steaks onto a warm plate
Top with the bacon steak
Finish with fresh watercress & a spoonful of piccalilli to one side. A simple buttered new potato works great with this dish.
