Grilled Cabbage Steaks Recipes

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

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.

CABBAGE STEAKS RECIPE (GRILLED OR ROASTED!)

Steps:

• Place the slices of bacon onto a large, cold pan. Place on the stove and turn to medium-low heat. Fry the bacon for 8-10 minutes, until crispy, flipping as needed.
• Meanwhile, cut the cabbage into 3/4-in (2 cm) thick slices.
• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper.
• Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside to drain, leaving behind the bacon fat in the pan. Add the minced garlic and saute for about a minute, until fragrant.
• Let the pan with bacon fat cool for 5-10 minutes. When the bacon fat has cooled enough to not melt the plastic, pour the bacon fat (along with the sauteed garlic) into the plastic bag. Scoop any remaining garlic with a spatula and add it in. Seal and mix well to form the marinade.
• Add the sliced cabbage steaks to the marinade bag. Coat well. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the grill at medium heat.
• Grill cabbage steaks for about 4-8 minutes on each side, until tender and crispy on the edges.
• To serve, top with cooked bacon and parsley for garnish (optional).
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C).
• Grease a large baking sheet well. (You can line with foil or parchment paper if you prefer. Arrange the cabbage steaks in a single layer.
• Roast cabbage steaks in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, until tender and crispy on the edges.
• To serve, top with cooked bacon and parsley for garnish (optional).

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.

GRILLED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Cut cabbage into four wedges.
• Place each wedge on a piece of doubled heavy-duty aluminum foil.
• Spread cut sides with butter.
• Mix spices together in a small container and sprinkle all of the mixture equally over each wedge.
• Wrap bacon around each wedge.
• Fold foil around cabbage, sealing each wedge tightly.
• Grill cabbage, covered, over medium heat for 40 minutes or until the cabbage is tender, turning twice.

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.
