Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon garlic powder
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 medium head cabbage

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Whisk oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.
Remove any loose outer leaves from the cabbage. Trim the stem so the cabbage sits flat on a cutting board. Cut vertically into six 3/4-inch-thick "steaks". Place the steaks on a baking sheet.
Brush one side of the steaks with some of the oil mixture.
Place the steaks on the grill, oiled-side down; close the lid and grill for 5 minutes. Brush more oil mixture on top and gently flip over; close lid and grill until tender-crisp and slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove to a platter and drizzle with any remaining oil mixture.

SUNNY'S EASY GRILLED CABBAGE "STEAKS" WITH APPLE SALAD

Sunny's Easy Grilled Cabbage

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1/2 cup hot pepper jelly
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 heads cabbage, each sliced laterally to make two 1 1/2- to 2-inch-thick slices
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 Gala, Honeycrisp or Fuji apples, cored and small diced
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
3 scallions, white and green parts chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
8 to 10 fresh basil leaves

Steps:

Make the sauce. Stir together the hot pepper jelly, orange juice, vinegar, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl or liquid measure. Stir and set aside.
Grill the cabbage. Preheat the grill to 350 degrees F.
Brush both sides of the cabbage with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the slices over the direct heat of the grill and cook until the bottom is slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Flip the cabbage and brush with the pepper jelly sauce. Cook for another 4 to 5 minutes and remove to serving plates.
Top with the salad. Combine the apples, tomatoes, scallions, lemon juice and a drizzle of the sauce in a medium bowl (make it as saucy as you like). Toss to coat and place an equal amount of the salad on the center of each grilled cabbage slice. Top with a few basil leaves. Eat it!

Tips:

Choose the right cabbage: Select a firm, heavy head of cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Avoid any heads that are bruised or have signs of wilting.
Cut the cabbage properly: Cut the cabbage into 1-inch thick steaks, ensuring that each steak has a sturdy core. This will help the steaks hold their shape during grilling.
Marinate the cabbage: Marinating the cabbage steaks in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices enhances their taste and helps them stay moist during grilling.
Grill the cabbage steaks over medium heat: This will allow them to cook evenly without burning. Cook the steaks for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
Serve the cabbage steaks immediately: Grilled cabbage steaks are best enjoyed hot off the grill. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce or dressing.
