Description

Grilled Cabbage Steaks are perfect for Vegetarian Recipes and summer grilling. Makes 4 servings in 22 minutes with simple ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large green cabbage, outer leaves removed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • 3 tablespoons tahini, optional
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, optional
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated, optional
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons warm water, optional
  • Pinch of salt, optional

Instructions

  1. Heat the grill to medium-high and oil the grates well.
  2. Slice the cabbage through the core into 3/4-inch to 1-inch steaks.
  3. Mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Brush both sides of each cabbage steak with the seasoned oil.
  5. Grill the cabbage steaks for 5 to 6 minutes per side.
  6. Flip carefully with a wide spatula or tongs until the edges are charred and the centers are tender.
  7. Whisk tahini, lemon juice, garlic, warm water, and salt until smooth if using the drizzle.
  8. Finish the cabbage with parsley, lemon wedges, and tahini drizzle.

Notes

  • Fridge: Store cooked steaks in an airtight container for 3 days. Keep drizzle separate for best texture.
  • Freezer: Freezing is not recommended because cabbage releases water after thawing and loses its grilled texture.
  • Oven Reheat: Warm on a sheet pan at 375 degrees F for 8 minutes until the edges firm again.
  • Microwave Reheat: Use short 45-second bursts only when speed matters, because the texture softens quickly.
  • Air Fryer Reheat: Reheat at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes for the best leftover edge texture.
