Grilled Elote Style Cauliflower Steaks Recipes

GRILLED CAULIFLOWER STEAK

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium or about 350 degrees F.
• Remove the outer leaves from each cauliflower head. Cut off the bottom stem end so that you create a flat base and can stand the cauliflower up on a cutting board.
• Resting the cauliflower on the stem cut the head into 2 very thick or 3 more moderate "steaks." Reserve side or small pieces that break off in small bowl.
• Brush one side of each cauliflower steak with the olive oil.
• In a small bowl mix remaining ingredients except parsley. Sprinkle evenly over both side of cauliflower.
• Place cauliflower carefully on grill, close cover and let cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until the bottom is beginning to char. Flip the cauliflower, then re-cover the grill and cook 5 additional minutes, until the cauliflower is tender. Remove from the grill.
• Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

GRILLED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

Steps:

• Trim leaves from cauliflower heads and slice off just enough of the stem so the head will sit flat.
• Place one cauliflower head upright on a cutting board and starting at the center cut in half from the top straight down with a sharp knife. Cut 1 to 1 1/2 inch thick slices from each half, leaving the stem intact. Repeat with second cauliflower head so you have 4 equal steaks. (Reserve remaining cauliflower for another use. See recipe note #1)
• Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium.
• Brush each side of cauliflower steaks with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Grill cauliflower steaks for 7 minutes on the first side to develop visible grill marks. Gently flip with tongs and grill 5 to 7 minutes more to your desired tenderness. During the last minute of grilling, top each steak with a pat of butter to melt into all of the crevices. Transfer to platter along with lemon wedges (optional), and garnish with parsley; serve immediately.

• Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, and black pepper together in a bowl. Set aside.
• Remove the tough bottom leaves from each cauliflower, taking care not to remove the stem. Place the cauliflower heads onto a cutting board with the stem side facing upwards; cut vertically on both sides of the stem to remove the loose florets. Reserve florets for another use.
• Cut each cauliflower vertically through the stem into 2 even "steaks", 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Remove any remaining small leaves from each steak. Place the 4 steaks on a baking sheet.
• Brush one side of the steaks with some of the oil mixture. Place steaks on the grill, oiled side down; grill for 5 minutes. Brush more oil mixture on top of the steaks and gently flip over; grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes more. Drizzle with any remaining oil and remove to a plate. Sprinkle with cilantro.
