Grilled Cauliflower Steaks Recipe (2024)

It’s New York, and many people do not have grills. Why not MAKE A PRACTICE of including a sentence or two about stovetop or broiler alternatives?

Oven roasted cauliflower steaks are great. I have gas and charcoal grills, but typically make several versions of cauliflower steaks, either starting on cooktop in a flat cast iron pan turning to oven or starting in oven on sheet pan. Just preheat 425 and spray or apply EVOO and seasoning/herbs/spices of choice and flip after 15 minutes for another 15 and total of 30 should brown them up nicely.

Or just look at some of the numerous roasted cauliflower recipes here. This one is for grilled, no need to double up.

Look, not everyone who reads the NYT lives in New York. And there are a ton of recipes on this site. Not all of them have to be for everyone all of the time.

You're going to need to par-steam these first for a tender enough cauliflower steak.

Love it!I took liberties, and didn't measure anything, but we will certainly make this again. Easy and really good. I didn't have dill, so used mint. Added some lime on the cauliflower before grilling. Added cayenne to the "sauce" which was really more of a topping than a sauce in my case because I used less oil. The peanuts are a spark of genius.

How can I make this on the stove or oven?

This was really delicious. Paired with grilled sausages which was a perfect combo. Would absolutely make this again.

Am I missing something here? The chopped cauliflower, which was easily half the cauliflower, is served raw with the total amount of sauce? Then make another batch of sauce for the steaks?

I was skeptical that this was going to turn out well, but it was actually pretty refreshing and turned out nicely. substitutions - lemons for lime, pistachios for peanuts and red pepper flakes for serranos. Cooked the cauliflower steaks in a skillet on high heat with oil and seasoned with Italian seasoning. The topping is almost like a crunchy gremolata of sorts and was actually the best part of the meal - could use the topping for any earthy/smoky main that needs some crunch and brightness

This was easy and delicious. I also grilled tofu & zucchini and made a salad of sorts out of them. I subbed cashews for peanuts and while I'm sure the peanuts give it a kick, they were quite good too.

This was a total disaster. Cauliflower did not remotely cook through in the time allocated and flavor of the sauce was not good. You made me look bad in front of my in-laws. Avoid.

This is a truly atrocious recipe. Take a beautiful head of fresh organic cauliflower, put it on a grill and burn it. ("Cook on one side until deeply charred.") How could i have expected anything but blackened, burned, tasteless waste? Then add dill and lime juice for sour, bitter flavor. Have you eve tried this? You owe us all heads of cauliflower to steam, saute in butter, etc.

My husband would've like if I had cooked it a little longer, but I LOVE this dish. I'm a veggie girl all the way, and this one is a winner. I reduced the recipe to one head of cauliflower but made as directed. Flavors are great. I made a yogurt/cucumber sauce/side, in case it was too hot for me with the serrano, but it was just perfect. Highly recommend. I will try to cook a couple minutes longer next time.

You can roast almost any vegetable; green beans, okra, peppers, asparagus, eggplant, and also cauliflower in a 400 degree oven. Just toss in olive oil before grilling and put on no stick foil in a single layer on a sheet pan. Peppers take 25 minutes and cauliflower is closer to 45. You make like it more or less brown.

Just put on a skillet / griddle pan instead of a bbq grill?

Coincidentally I made a variation on this this past weekend. I happened to use Mint and capers as the dressing, but the smoke, lemon and oil really made this cauliflower dish and is more delicious than you might expect. Also stands up well - I made a huge cauliflower and we grazed on it for a few days, with just a freshen up of herbs.

I’ve cooked cauliflower cut like this in the oven, 425 degrees, drizzled in garlic olive oil, salt and cayenne pepper. It is delicious.
