If there is ever a copy cat recipe I have enjoyed more it is definitely this Big Mac version. You really do not miss the bun and get an extra serving of veggies in the process. We all really enjoyed this one with the sauce being the star of the show.
If you like this recipe you will love my Chicken Parm Cauliflower Steaks or my Low Carb Pizza Cauliflower Steaks. You can sub in any cheese you like for the Colby Jack, like American cheese to keep it more authentic. The Big Mac Sauce is the best part though so please don’t skip it!

- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and once hot, add in the patties. Spread out 1 tsp of mustard per patty with the back of a spoon. Flip after 2 minutes has passed. Add the cheese slices and cover to melt.
Assembly:
- To each cauliflower steak, first spread out a generous amount of the sauce. Next, top with the shredded lettuce.Now add on the patties.Lastly garnish with some sliced pickles and black pepper.
