Steaks are a staple food of every family barbeque, and being a vegan doesn’t mean you have to be left out of this tradition. If you’re not in the mood for plant-based meats and seitan steaks, you can make your own steak with these five vegetables.
Eggplant
Eggplant is one of the staples of a vegan diet, and you just have to cut it lengthwise and season it before placing it on your grill to get a tasty and crispy vegan steak.

Cabbage
You can also slice a cabbage head into large, steak-like pieces. It won’t look like a real thing, but it’s another creative way to eat cabbage you probably never thought of.
Cauliflower became the “it” superfood in the last few years, and food lovers came up with many fun new ways to consume it – including in the steak form.
Beets are one of the most nutritious veggies on the market, and you can easily transform them into steaks after peeling them, trimming roots, and stemming their ends.
Mushrooms are a pretty obvious choice for vegan steaks. If you’re not sure with which variety you should go with, opt for portobello mushrooms since they’re one of the most popular meat substitutes.
