Grilled Cabbage Steaks with Cilantro-Lime Sauce image

These smoky cabbage steaks make a hearty side dish, but they're also substantial enough to serve as a vegetarian main dish if you add a grain or some beans. Our easy herb sauce made in the blender is light, bright and very versatile. If you have any leftover, it can serve as a salad dressing or a drizzle for other grilled foods.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves
2 cups lightly packed fresh Italian parsley leaves
2 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
1 medium jalapeño, stemmed and coarsely chopped
Zest and juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons juice)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 medium head savoy cabbage
1/2 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes.
  • Combine 1 1/2 cups of the cilantro, 1 1/2 cups of the parsley, the garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, rice vinegar, honey and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender and blend on high until smooth. With the blender running, drizzle in the oil in a slow stream to make a very smooth sauce. Transfer to a serving bowl and season with more salt, if needed.
  • Remove any loose leaves from the exterior of the cabbage and set it on its stem end. Cut a thin piece off one side of the cabbage to make it flat; then slice a thin piece off the other side of the cabbage. (Reserve the pieces for another use.) Slice the cabbage vertically to make 4 thick steaks, each about 3/4- to 1-inch thick.
  • Lay the steaks on a baking sheet and stick a skewer horizontally through any that are not holding together. Brush both sides of the steaks with olive oil and sprinkle with the lime zest, ancho powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Grill the steaks, covered, moving them occasionally so they cook evenly, until charred and crisp-tender, 6 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter, brush the tops lightly with olive oil and remove any skewers you used.
  • Coarsely chop the remaining 1/2 cup cilantro and 1/2 cup parsley. Drizzle about half of the sauce over the cabbage. Sprinkle with the herbs and red onion and serve the remaining sauce on the side.

STEAKS WITH GARLIC CILANTRO BUTTER



Steaks With Garlic Cilantro Butter image

Tender juicy steaks dripping with herb butter makes this a crowd pleaser. Use a quality cut to truly enjoy this.

Provided by fraserwag

Categories     Meat

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 (1 lb) steaks (ribeye, t-bone, sirloin, each steak approx. 1 lb)
salt and pepper
3/4 cup salted butter
1 bunch cilantro
4 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Select steaks approx 1 inch thick. Allow steaks to come to room temperature so they cook quickly and evenly.
  • Place slightly softened butter, garlic, cilantro, paprika and lemon juice in food processor, and pulse until well blended. Refrigerate resulting herb butter.
  • Salt and pepper steaks.
  • Grill steaks uncovered on hot bbq for 5 minutes on one side. Don't worry if it flames a bit.
  • After 5 minutes, turn steaks, place lid on BBQ, close top vent half-way and cook about 8 minutes more. During this period, be sure to turn steaks every two minutes for even cooking. This should give you medium-rare to medium doneness.
  • Remove steaks from grill.
  • Place large dollops of herb butter on steaks, and allow steaks to rest 5 minutes on plate, covered, so juices get re-absorbed. This 5 minutes is a great time to use the BBQ to grill some veggies. I make grilled zucchini, yellow squash and portabella mushrooms. After grilling veggies, add some of the herb butter to them.
  • For best flavor, use a charcoal grill with mesquite natural charcoal, but you can use a gas grill.
