Best Grilled Cabbage Steaks Recipes

GRILLED CABBAGE STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Whisk oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.
• Remove any loose outer leaves from the cabbage. Trim the stem so the cabbage sits flat on a cutting board. Cut vertically into six 3/4-inch-thick "steaks". Place the steaks on a baking sheet.
• Brush one side of the steaks with some of the oil mixture.
• Place the steaks on the grill, oiled-side down; close the lid and grill for 5 minutes. Brush more oil mixture on top and gently flip over; close lid and grill until tender-crisp and slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove to a platter and drizzle with any remaining oil mixture.

SUNNY'S EASY GRILLED CABBAGE "STEAKS" WITH APPLE SALAD

Steps:

• Make the sauce. Stir together the hot pepper jelly, orange juice, vinegar, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl or liquid measure. Stir and set aside.
• Grill the cabbage. Preheat the grill to 350 degrees F.
• Brush both sides of the cabbage with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the slices over the direct heat of the grill and cook until the bottom is slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Flip the cabbage and brush with the pepper jelly sauce. Cook for another 4 to 5 minutes and remove to serving plates.
• Top with the salad. Combine the apples, tomatoes, scallions, lemon juice and a drizzle of the sauce in a medium bowl (make it as saucy as you like). Toss to coat and place an equal amount of the salad on the center of each grilled cabbage slice. Top with a few basil leaves. Eat it!

GRILLED CABBAGE STEAKS WITH CILANTRO-LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes.
• Combine 1 1/2 cups of the cilantro, 1 1/2 cups of the parsley, the garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, rice vinegar, honey and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender and blend on high until smooth. With the blender running, drizzle in the oil in a slow stream to make a very smooth sauce. Transfer to a serving bowl and season with more salt, if needed.
• Remove any loose leaves from the exterior of the cabbage and set it on its stem end. Cut a thin piece off one side of the cabbage to make it flat; then slice a thin piece off the other side of the cabbage. (Reserve the pieces for another use.) Slice the cabbage vertically to make 4 thick steaks, each about 3/4- to 1-inch thick.
• Lay the steaks on a baking sheet and stick a skewer horizontally through any that are not holding together. Brush both sides of the steaks with olive oil and sprinkle with the lime zest, ancho powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Grill the steaks, covered, moving them occasionally so they cook evenly, until charred and crisp-tender, 6 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter, brush the tops lightly with olive oil and remove any skewers you used.
• Coarsely chop the remaining 1/2 cup cilantro and 1/2 cup parsley. Drizzle about half of the sauce over the cabbage. Sprinkle with the herbs and red onion and serve the remaining sauce on the side.

BACON-RANCH GRILLED CABBAGE STEAKS

Steps:

• Cut cabbage in half through the core. Discard any loose leaves. Cut two 3/4-inch steaks from each half of cabbage.
• Whisk olive oil, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Brush oil over one side of each steak and let sit for 5 minutes to absorb. Flip steaks over and brush with remaining oil.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place steaks directly on the grate and grill for 5 minutes. Using tongs, carefully flip the steaks over and grill for 5 minutes more.
• Transfer steaks to serving plates. Drizzle 1 tablespoon ranch dressing over each and top with crumbled bacon.

GRILLED CABBAGE STEAKS WITH CREAMY CHIPOTLE DRESSING

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or cast-iron grill pan for medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates.
• Cut the green and red cabbage halves into 6 wedges each, about 1 inch thick, leaving the core intact. Add the cabbage wedges to a baking sheet, brush on both sides with the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill the cabbage until charred and slightly softened, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer back to the baking sheet and allow to cool slightly.
• Combine the vinegar, sugar, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over high heat and cook until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Add the onions to a small heatproof bowl and pour the vinegar mixture over the onions. Set aside until ready to use.
• Whisk together the yogurt, lime juice, chipotle in adobo sauce, honey and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until combined.
• Shingle the cabbage wedges on a serving platter, alternating between the green and red. Drizzle generously with the chipotle dressing and top with the tomatoes, corn, black beans, pickled onions, Cotija and cilantro.
