Ingredients
  

  • 3 heads of broccoli sliced in half
  • 4 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons of coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 garlic sliced
  • 1.5 tsp honey omit if vegan or Whole30
  • 1.5 tsp sesame oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • CABBAGE SALAD
  • 1/2 head red cabbage
  • 1/2 lime juiced
  • 1 tbsp cilantro rough chopped
  • 1 tbsp basil rough chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • COCONUT RICE
  • 1 1/4 cup jasmine or basmati rice rinsed
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp filtered water

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently add in the broccoli and cook for about 5 minutes.
  3. Remove and lay on a wired rack or towel and allow for it to dry (about 10 minutes) while you prep the dressing.
  4. To make the dressing: In a mason jar, add the olive oil, coconut aminos, rice wine vinegar, lime juice, garlic, honey, and sesame oil. Add the lid and shake it up.
  5. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, add the broccoli and about half of the dressing. Season with salt and pepper and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  6. Once the broccoli is nice lightly charred, drizzle the remaining dressing on top.
  7. CABBAGE SALAD: While the broccoli is baking, add all the ingredients to the cabbage salad in a bowl and mix well. Set aside until ready to serve.
  8. COCONUT RICE: In a saucepan, add all of the rice ingredients and place a lid on top. Cook on medium-low heat for about 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
  9. Add the riced cauliflower and cook so all the liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat and stir.
  10. If your rice needs more liquid and not finished cooking, add a splash of water and cook a bit longer if needed.
  11. Serve the broccoli steak on a bed of coconut rice and the cabbage salad and enjoy!
