How to Make this Paneer Steak Recipe at Home
Mash the Paneer in a bowl
Add crumbled bread, salt, coriander, and Meishi Sriracha Sauce to the paneer. Mix thoroughly to form a sticky, well-blended dough.
Shape the mixture into a thick, rectangular or oval “steak” slab, about 1 inch thick. Press firmly so it holds together but keep the rustic texture.
Heat Dolce Vita Olive Oil in a pan. Carefully place the paneer steak and sear for 3–4 minutes per side on medium heat until golden brown.
Transfer the seared steak to a baking tray. Top with cheese slices and tomato. Grill at 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes or until cheese is soft and slightly browned. Voila, your paneer steak recipe is ready!
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with grilled veggies or herbed couscous.

Tips & Variations

- Add a pinch of black pepper or paprika for more spice
