Charred Cabbage Steak

Who knew cabbage could be so bold? Marinated in a tangy, garlicky citrus-mustard blend and charred to perfection, this is the kind of dish that steals the show—yep, even from the burgers.

Active Time: 35 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

For the marinade:
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup Plochman’s Champagne Mustard
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
For the cabbage and beans:
  • 1 green cabbage, cut into four wedges
  • 1 (12 oz) can great northern white beans, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced celery
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • 2 Tbsp chopped dill fronds, plus more for garnish
  • 1 ½ tsp kosher salt

Directions

  1. To make the marinade: In a small bowl whisk together the sour cream, mustard, lemon zest and juice, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
  2. To make the cabbage and beans: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat. Brush each cut side of the cabbage wedges with about 1 tablespoon of the marinade. 
  3. In a small stainless steel pot, combine the beans, celery, shallot, jalapeño, dill, and salt. Stir to combine. 
  4. Grill the cabbage wedges on the cut sides, flipping halfway through, until charred and golden brown, about 6 minutes per side. Place the wedges on their backs, close the grill, and cook for another 6 to 8 minutes or until the cabbage is tender. 
  5. Transfer the cabbages wedges to serving plates. Place the pot of beans on the grill and cook, stirring often, until just warmed through, about 4 minutes. 
  6. To serve the cabbage: Divide the cabbage wedges and beans evenly between four plates. Garnish with the remaining marinade and dill fronds.
Kick it up a notch: Swap the Champagne Mustard for Chicago Fire Mustard to give your cabbage a fiery boost—and if you really love the heat, use a thinly sliced habanero pepper instead of jalapeño. Not a spice fan? You can skip the jalapeño altogether and your cabbage will still be main-dish worthy.
