Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F/190°C).
Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage and rinse it under cold water. Pat the cabbage dry with a clean towel.
Cut the cabbage into 1-inch thick slices or 'steaks,' keeping the core intact to hold the pieces together.
Brush both sides of each cabbage slice with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
Place the cabbage steaks directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook for 10-12 minutes per side, or until the edges are charred and the center is tender. Turn carefully using tongs or a spatula.
While the cabbage is grilling, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice.
Once the cabbage steaks are cooked, remove them from the grill and place on a serving platter.
Drizzle the garlic butter sauce generously over the grilled cabbage steaks and serve immediately. Optional: garnish with extra fresh parsley or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for color.
