<\/a><\/p>\nWhy is cauliflower steak referred to as a steak?<\/h2>\n
That\u2019s right, we are talking cauliflower here and not a steak per se. However, they are called steaks despite having nothing to do with meat. You could say, that when sliced, they resemble a t-bone steak or other cut on the bone, as the harder core of the cauliflower almost resembles a bone. And\u2026 they make a great vegan or vegetarian option for the BBQ.<\/p>\n
The most important step in making cauliflower steaks is learning how to cut the cauliflower. Once you know how, the rest is easy!<\/p>\n This simple grilled cauliflower recipe is easy to adapt. Keep in mind that a few extra ingredients give the recipe interest and depth. Lemon adds brightness, herbs add freshness, toasted nuts add crunch. Here are a few of my ideas:<\/p>\n You can simply season it with salt and pepper, or add a little oomph with herbs and spices. Try ras el hanout, za\u2019taar, or a simple combination of sweet paprika and garlic powder. Or try a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.<\/p>\n Or keep things pure and simple and upgrade your grilled cauliflower steak with exciting toppings. Try chimichurri sauce, romesco sauce<\/a>, salsa verde, gremolata, or a simple tahini sauce with a sprinkle of parsley.<\/p>\n Cauliflower steak makes a terrific side dish, or you can make a meal out of it by adding a base of whole grains or legumes (like beluga lentils or chickpeas), then topping them with a cauliflower steak and tahini sauce.<\/p>\n You could even make a deconstructed falafel plate, by serving a cauliflower steak over some\u00a0hummus, alongside with roasted chickpeas (or falafel), sliced cucumber and some pita bread.<\/p>\n Or serve it over a bed of butter beans (like I do in this Roasted Carrots with Harissa, Butter Beans and Yoghurt Sauce<\/a> recipe) or alongside a simple Turkish bean salad.<\/p>\n Or try serving alongside a salad for a light meal. Or as an accompaniment to other dishes as a vegetarian side dish.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nHow to prepare cauliflower steaks<\/h2>\n
