Instructions
Instructions
- Cut the cabbage head into 1-inch thick steaks, keeping them as even as possible for consistent cooking.
- Melt the butter in a small pan or microwave until fully liquid, optionally stirring in garlic powder.
- Brush both sides of each cabbage steak with the melted butter.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly over each cabbage steak.
- Place the cabbage steaks into the pressure cooker on a trivet or steaming basket above about 1 cup of broth or water.
- Close the lid securely with the sealing ring in place.
- Set the pressure cooker to high pressure and cook for 3 minutes, then perform a quick release to stop cooking immediately.
- Optionally, for a roasted effect, place cabbage steaks on a parchment-lined sheet and roast in a 400°F oven for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Remove the cabbage steaks and drizzle with fresh lemon juice if desired, then serve warm.
Notes
Serve warm with optional fresh lemon juice drizzle for brightness. Skip oven roasting for faster preparation with tender results from pressure cooking alone.
