This was surprisingly flavourful and suitably moist, despite the lack of marbling in this lean cut. However, it started to get monotonous after a while – perhaps leaner cuts aren't quite my thing. The roasted grape salsa was delicious, though. Grapes were plump and in equal parts sweet and tart – great for balancing out the steak's rich, buttery flavours.
Some may baulk at shelling out $20 for a vegetable dish, but this Cauliflower Steak is worth every penny. The Middle-Eastern touches – saffron-tinged yoghurt and aromatic dukkah – delivered bold, punchy flavours that accentuated the vegetable's inherent sweetness. Paired with Moroccan millet "cous cous" and tangy marinated zucchini, it more than held its own as a main course; and even outshone its meaty counterpart, the bavette steak, in my opinion 🙊
Cooked and seasoned perfectly, it was exactly what I was hoping for in a steak. The grape salsa was a welcome, unique accompaniment to the meat with its slight sweetness. This was enjoyable and I would recommend it for any meat lover dining here! The other main we had was the lentil mushroom scotch egg ($20) that I liked (not as much as I liked this tho) and is a great vegetarian option. This was a very satisfying dinner with some cocktails for a nice night out!
