For best results, choose firm, compact heads of cauliflower. Don't overcrowd the grill; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking. Adjust the grilling time based on the thickness of your steaks and your desired level of tenderness. Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices in the marinade, such as cumin, oregano, or red pepper flakes. Serve these cauliflower steaks as a vegetarian main course or a flavorful side dish alongside grilled meats or fish.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C) and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

03 Step
Recipe View Cut the Cauliflower Steaks: Place each cauliflower head stem-side up on a cutting board. Carefully cut two 1 to 1 1/2-inch thick 'steaks' from the center of each head, ensuring they remain intact. Reserve the remaining florets for another use, such as roasting or adding to soup. (10 minutes)

Apr 28, 2025My cauliflower fell apart on the grill. Next time, I'll try cutting thicker steaks and being extra careful when flipping.
