Best Grilled Cauliflower Steak Sandwich Recipes

GRILLED CAULIFLOWER "STEAK" BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat your grill to medium, about 350 - 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Peel the leaves off of the heads of cauliflower and cut the stem off of the bottom. Sit the heads upright on the flat cut bottom and, with a sharp chef's knife, cut into in 1-inch thick slices. Generally, you can only get 2 good steaks out of one head of cauliflower, the slices from the middle. Reserve the two middle slices and safe the outer sections for later use. Repeat with the second head of cauliflower.
• Brush both sides of the cauliflower slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Cut the Ciabatta buns in half and brush the insides with olive oil, so that they'll be ready to grill when it's time. Set aside.
• Place cauliflower on the grill and cook, flipping occasionally, until golden brown on both sidesand fork-tender in the middle, 10-15 minutes. Add provolone and cook until melted, about 1 more minute. Remove cauliflower steaks from the grill and set aside. Place the buns over the warm grates and cook until toasty, 1-2 minutes. Remove.
• Smear the insides of the buns with Dijon mustard and mayonnaise. Lay cauliflower on bottom bun and top with arugula and red onions. Close with the top bun, slice in half if desired, and serve.

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.

GRILLED TRUFFLE-PARMESAN CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Whisk oil, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.
• 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. 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 and gently flip over; grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove to a platter and drizzle with truffle oil. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley.

EASY GRILLED CAULIFLOWER STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Whisk olive oil and grill seasoning together in a small bowl until smooth.
• Place cauliflower on a cutting board and trim off inedible leaves. Trim off the bottom of the cauliflower stem but make sure to keep the core intact. Cut the cauliflower in half. Cut 1-inch-thick "steaks" out of each half.
• Brush each side with the seasoned oil. Grill for 6 minutes. Flip over and grill for 6 minutes more.
