Tips for success with Halloumi Steak
Before you start the recipe, there are a few things to keep in mind. Here are some tips for success with halloumi steak:
squeeze the zucchini well
In order for the dough to stay together when shaping the steak, it is important that you squeeze the grated zucchini well. If you don’t do this, there is a risk that the batter will become watery and fall apart when you fry the steak.
Let the dough rise for 15 minutes
Another tip for fixing the patties is to let the dough stand and rise for 15 minutes. The breadcrumbs absorb the liquid in the dough, which makes it easier to prepare steaks.
Do not turn the Halloumi steak too quickly
Veggie patties can fall apart easily, so it’s important not to turn them too quickly in the pan.
I usually fry them for 4-5 minutes on each side until they get a nice golden brown surface and then turn them over – then they won’t break so easily.
ITeaAnother tip is to put a thin layer of oil on the frying pan to prevent them from sticking.

Halloumi steaks go very well. I like to serve with e.g. quinoa, cauliflower, potato wedges or oat rice. For that, I usually use a green salad and a creamy dressing.
This is good for e.g. Tzatziki, fresh citrus sauce or chimichurri.
