Sous Vide Cauliflower Steaks

The cool thing about cauliflower steaks using the sous vide cooking method is that it’s a no-fuss way to getting them to the perfect core temperature. If you have ever cooked any vegetables, they can easily be undercooked or overcooked - yielding something different every time. With sous vide, I am able to get the perfect texture and internal temperature I am looking for. This recipe is for one cauliflower steak. If you’re cooking multiple cauliflower steaks, have them lay side-by-side, rather than stacked on top. Additionally, adjust the ingredients accordingly. Note, this recipe is vegan, dairy-free, and delicious. Bonus tip: these cauliflower steaks topped with mushroom gravy takes it to another level!

1. In a shallow bowl or plate, combine bread crumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt. In another large bowl, combine the flour and vegan milk. Whisk until smooth.
2. Carefully and evenly coat the cauliflower steak into the flour and milk batter first. Tap off excess batter. Then, dip the steak into panko mix.
3. Heat a small non-stick pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to about ¼ inch high. Fry cauliflower steak in a skillet for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden.
