Best Grilled Cauliflower Steaks Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 2 large heads cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons minced cilantro

Instructions

1. Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and ensure the grate is lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, and freshly ground black pepper. Set this flavorful mixture aside.
3. Begin by removing the tough outer leaves from each cauliflower head, being careful to preserve the stem. Position the cauliflower head on a cutting board with the stem facing up. Make vertical cuts on either side of the stem to detach any loose florets. Then, slice each cauliflower head vertically through the stem to create two even "steaks," each approximately 1 to 1 ½ inches thick. Remove any remaining small leaves from the steaks and arrange them on a baking sheet.
4. Brush one side of each cauliflower steak generously with the prepared oil mixture. Place the steaks on the preheated grill, oiled-side down, and grill for 5 minutes. Apply another layer of the oil mixture to the tops of the steaks and carefully flip them over. Continue grilling until they achieve a golden brown color with slight char marks, approximately 5 to 7 minutes more. Drizzle any remaining oil mixture over the steaks, then transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
