Description
I find the mild flavor of these cauliflower steaks are perfect with a fresh, punchy sauce. Make sure to also try making my mint chimichurri sauce recipe, which is a tasty combination of mint, orange and pistachio in a garlicky base.

Notes
Cutting a cauliflower into steaks does leave behind some florets from the edges. Either grill these stray pieces alongside your steaks, or use them for one of the other many other tasty cauliflower recipes on GrillGirl.com.
