Steps:
- Remove the outer leaves from each cauliflower head. Cut off the bottom stem end so that you create a flat base and can stand the cauliflower up on a cutting board. Resting the cauliflower on the stem, use a large, sharp knife to trim away the sides, then cut the remaining head into 2 very thick or 3 more moderate "steaks." Reserve the sides for another use (see notes). In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon zest and lemon juice, garlic, and honey.
- Heat a grill to medium (about 350 degrees F). Brush one side of each cauliflower steak with the lemon-olive oil mixture and then sprinkle the brush sides with half of the salt. Place the salted side down on the hot grill, then brush the tops of the steaks with the olive oil mixture and season with the remaining salt. Cover the grill and let cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until the bottom is beginning to char. Flip the cauliflower, then re-cover the grill and cook 5 additional minutes, until the cauliflower is tender. Remove from the grill. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes, parsley, and walnuts. Serve hot with lemon wedges.

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

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower. Look for a head of cauliflower that is firm and white, with no blemishes. The head should also be about the same size as your palm.
- Cut the cauliflower steaks evenly. This will help them cook evenly. Aim for steaks that are about 1 inch thick.
- Marinate the cauliflower steaks before grilling. This will help them absorb flavor and stay moist. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or you can get creative and try a more complex marinade.
- Grill the cauliflower steaks over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning. Cook the steaks for about 5 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Serve the cauliflower steaks immediately. You can top them with your favorite burger toppings, such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion. You can also serve them with a dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or barbecue sauce.
