Grilled Cauliflower Steak Recipe
Grilled cauliflower steaks with a simple lemon and spice marinade. Easy to make and works well as a vegetarian side or a light main dish.
Servings: 2 servings
Equipment
- Grill
Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon juiced, plus more for serving
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Chopped parsley for serving
Instructions
- Place the cauliflower on a cutting board and slice it into ¾- to 1-inch thick “steaks.” You’ll typically get 2–3 large steaks; save the remaining florets for another recipe.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, garlic, onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Brush both sides of each steak with the marinade.
- Heat a gas grill to medium-high (around 400°F). Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Place the cauliflower steaks directly on the grill. Cook for 5–7 minutes per side, until the cauliflower becomes tender and has grill marks without burning.
- Remove from the grill, squeeze a little extra lemon juice and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
My Top Tip: Do not rush the flip. If a steak is sticking, it is not ready. Give it another minute and try again. It releases on its own once it has had enough contact time on that side.
Storage: Store the grilled cauliflower steaks in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave until warmed through for 1–2 minutes.
