Cauliflower Steak Grilled With Avocado Herb Sauce Wellplatedcom Food

GRILLED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH FRESH HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat your grill at medium-high heat.
• Trim the leaves off of the cauliflower and remove the end of the stalk. Set it on your cutting board and cut into thick steaks from top to bottom (so that they look like the photo). You will get two to four whole steaks. Save the remaining loose cauliflower florets for another use.
• Brush both sides of the steaks with oil. Dust with the cumin and turmeric and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Grill the steaks for about five minutes per side, or until they have reached the desired doneness.
• Combine the parsley, mint, lemon zest and juice, olive oil, garlic and pepper flakes in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve the sauce drizzled over the top and more on the side.

GRILLED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

Steps:

• 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, use a large, sharp knife to trim away the sides, then cut the remaining head into 2 very thick or 3 more moderate "steaks." Reserve the sides for another use (see notes). In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon zest and lemon juice, garlic, and honey.
• Heat a grill to medium (about 350 degrees F). Brush one side of each cauliflower steak with the lemon-olive oil mixture and then sprinkle the brush sides with half of the salt. Place the salted side down on the hot grill, then brush the tops of the steaks with the olive oil mixture and season with the remaining salt. Cover the grill 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 the red pepper flakes, parsley, and walnuts. Serve hot with lemon wedges.

HERB-CRUSTED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH BEANS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Arrange racks in middle and upper third of oven; preheat to 425°F. Remove leaves and trim stem end of cauliflower, leaving core intact. Place cauliflower core side down on a work surface. Using a large knife, slice in the center from top to bottom to yield 2 (1") "steaks"; reserve remaining cauliflower for another use.
• Place cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush both sides with 1 Tbsp. oil; season with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Roast on middle rack, turning halfway through, until cauliflower is tender and browned, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss green beans with 1 Tbsp. oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper on another rimmed baking sheet. Arrange in a single layer, then roast in upper third of oven until green beans begin to blister, about 15 minutes.
• Whisk garlic, lemon zest, 1/3 cup parsley, and remaining 6 Tbsp. oil, 1 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Transfer half of mixture to another medium bowl. Add panko and Parmesan to first bowl and mix with your hands. Add white beans and tomatoes to second bowl and toss to coat. Whisk mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl.
• Remove sheets from oven. Spread mayonnaise mixture over cauliflower. Sprinkle 1/4 cup panko mixture evenly over cauliflower. Add white bean mixture to sheet with green beans and toss to combine. Return sheets to oven and continue to roast until white beans begin to crisp and panko topping starts to brown, 5-7 minutes more.
• Divide cauliflower, green beans, white beans, and tomatoes among plates. Top with parsley.

GRILLED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• 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.

GRILLED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-high. Stand the cauliflower on its core, then slice vertically into 1/2-inch thick slabs. (It's OK if they don't stay together.) Transfer large pieces that won't fall through grill grates to a baking sheet. Drizzle generously all over with oil and season generously with salt. For any small bits that would fall through the grates, coarsely chop them and transfer to a medium bowl.
• To the bowl of chopped cauliflower, add the 1/4 cup olive oil, dill, lime juice, chile and peanuts. Stir to combine and season generously with salt.
• When ready to grill, clean the grates with a grill brush, then lightly grease the grates. Add the cauliflower slabs and cook on one side until deeply charred and crisp-tender underneath only, 8 to 10 minutes. (If using a gas grill, close the lid.) Use a spatula to transfer the cauliflower, grilled-side up, to a platter.
• Spoon the dill-peanut sauce over the grilled cauliflower. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CAULIFLOWER STEAKS WITH AVOCADO HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the sauce first by gently mixing all ingredients together. Set aside.
• For the steaks Remove the greens from the base of the cauliflower and discard. Keep the stem intact.
• Cut two cauliflower steaks out of the middle of the head. Reserve the remaining cauliflower for another use.
• Add the Avocado oil to a hot pan and reduce hte heat to medium. Throw in the cloves of garlic. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Lay the steaks into the pan.
• Let them sear and squeeze the lemon juice over the cauliflower. Throw the lemon half in the pan. Turn the cauliflower when browned on one side and continue to sear on the other side. Add a little water and cover and let steam about 5 minutes. Add butter to pan and baste the steaks turning if browning too much. Once they are nicely brown remove the steaks to a serving plate. Drizzle some of that pan sauce over the steaks and top with the Avocado sauce.
