Steak-frites is a popular dish that's now being reinvented in an entirely plant-based format, with Firebirds Wood Fired Grill now serving cauliflower steak and fries.
Upon ordering the Cauliflower "Steak" Frites from the menu, a diner is presented with a wood-grilled cauliflower steak, roasted chile hummus chimichurri sauce, Parmesan fries and a cucumber salad.
While many restaurants are now offering cauliflower steak as a vegetarian-friendly alternative to meat, the cruciferous vegetable is often presented by itself on a plate. This inventive new Firebirds Wood Fired Grill dish puts a plant-powered spin on steak-frites that has the potential to appeal to those with certain dietary preferences or even just the desire to consume a light yet satisfying meal without any meat whatsoever.
