Steak is originally a non veg dish , a large piece of meat or fish which is cooked by grilling or frying. But I have given a twist to it. A non veg dish turned into a vegetarian dish. The innovation started when my daughter wanted to have a steak. The Meat was not available at that time. So I thought of making it with Cottage Cheese which was readily available. I cut big slices from Cottage cheese block around ¼ inch of thickness, marinated them for 10 min and grilled them. Made a salad of French Beans and Carrots as condiment.
This dish is rich in protein and fibre too.
We Need
4 Big Slices of Cottage Cheese ¼ " Thick.( Paneer)
For Marination
1 Tbsp Olive oil (or any cooking oil)
1 Tbsp Chilli Flakes
1 Tbsp Pizza Seasoning

1 Tsp Red Chilli sauce.
1 Tsp Salt
