To make the Roasted Broccoli Steaks with Tomato Butter, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 475 °F.
On a rimmed baking sheet, toss together 2 ounces torn into small pieces bread, 2 tablespoons oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
Toast for 4 to 6 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crisp, stirring once halfway through. Remove from the oven and set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 425 °F.
Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and leave to warm at 425 °F for about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss together broccoli steaks, 2 cups cherry tomatoes, red onion wedges, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and remaining ¼ cup oil.
Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on the preheated baking sheet. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes at 425°F until broccoli is tender and starts to char, flip broccoli and onion after 10 minutes. Once roasted, remove from the oven.
Transfer the tomatoes, onion, and ¼ cup vegetable stock to a blender.
Place the lid securely on the blender and remove the center piece to allow steam to escape. Cover the opening with a towel and process for about 30 second until smooth. Add in the remaining ¼ cup stock, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin the sauce as needed.
With the motor running, gradually add 2 tablespoons butter, processing until the sauce is smooth and thick, about 20 seconds. Add in the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper and stir to mix.
To serve, spoon about ¼ cup tomato sauce onto each of the four plates. Top with broccoli steaks, tapenade, and toasted croutons. Enjoy!
