Ingredients
- Cauliflower, Whole Head 1 each
- Oil 1 tablespoon
- Seasoned Butter 1 tablespoon
- Salt 1/2 teaspoon
- Pepper 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat the Griddle: Gather your ingredients to make the cauliflower steak recipe. Preheat the Blackstone Griddle to medium-low heat for 5 – 10 minutes or set the electric Blackstone Griddle to 350°F. When the flat top griddle is hot, add a little bit of oil or butter and spread it around with a griddle spatula.
- How to Cut Cauliflower Steaks: While the griddle is warming up, prepare the cauliflower pieces. Remove all the green leaves from the bottom of the cauliflower. Trim the stem so it sits flat on your cutting board. Rinse the cauliflower head under cold water and pat dry with some paper towel. Using a large sharp kitchen knife, carefully cut in half. Then cut thick cauliflower steak slices with each half. Save any extra cauliflower pieces for soup, sautéing, or enjoying raw with your favorite dip.
- Season the Cauliflower Steaks: Generously season each cauliflower steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Griddle the Cauliflower Steaks: Carefully place each steak piece onto the preheated griddle. Add dollops of seasoned butter to the top of each piece. For extra tenderness, add a little water to the griddle and cover with a griddle dome lid. Let the steaks cook for several minutes until they develop a nice golden brown crust.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Use a spatula to carefully flip each cauliflower steak. Add more seasoned butter to the top of the cauliflower pieces and around them. If desired, add more water and cover again with the dome lid. Cook until the cauliflower pieces reach your desired tenderness.
- Serve and Enjoy: Optional – Top with shredded parmesan cheese for extra flavor. When fully cooked, remove the steaks from the griddle and transfer to a serving plate. Serve hot and enjoy alone or with your favorite main dish.
