Grilled Cabbage Steaks

Ingredients

• 1 head green cabbage – outer leaves removed, cored end trimmed, cut into 1 to 1.25-inch-thick steaks
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper – freshly ground
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp lemon juice – fresh

Instructions

1. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (about 400–425°F).
2. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly combined.
3. Pat the cabbage steaks dry. Brush both sides generously with the seasoned oil, ensuring the edges and core are coated to help prevent sticking.
4. Place the cabbage steaks on the grill, cover, and cook until the undersides are well-marked and beginning to soften, 6–8 minutes.
5. Flip carefully with tongs and a wide spatula. Cover and grill until the centers are tender when pierced and the edges are charred in spots, 6–8 minutes more. Move to a cooler zone if flare-ups occur.
6. Transfer to a platter. Drizzle the lemon juice over the hot steaks and season to taste with a pinch more salt if needed. Rest 2 minutes, then serve.
