Ingredients
• 1 medium head of green cabbage, cut into 1-inch thick slices
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Prepare the Cabbage: Trim the stem end of the cabbage and remove any damaged or discolored outer leaves. Cut the cabbage into 1-inch thick slices, keeping the core intact to hold the steaks together. Brush both sides of the cabbage slices with the olive oil and season generously with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450°F to 500°F. Make sure the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent the cabbage from sticking.
- Grill the Cabbage Steaks: Carefully place the cabbage steaks directly on the hot grill grates. Grill for 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until the edges are nicely charred and the center is tender. Avoid moving the steaks too much during the grilling process, as this can cause them to break apart.
- Check for Doneness: Use a sharp knife to test the doneness of the cabbage steaks. They should be fork-tender, with a slight bite in the center. If the steaks are not yet fully cooked, continue grilling in 2-minute intervals until they reach your desired level of tenderness.
- Rest and Serve: Once the cabbage steaks are grilled to perfection, transfer them to a cutting board and let them rest for 2 to 3 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful final dish. Serve the grilled cabbage steaks hot, garnished with any additional toppings or sauces of your choice.
