My Grilled Cauliflower Steak recipe is a tasty vegetarian treat on the grill! The green goddess sauce makes it a total crowd pleaser.
Hello dear reader!
My brain has been in holiday mode all week. It seems like everybody is on some sort of vacation this week and my mind clearly wants to be there too! Luckily I got wandering mind in check enough to make dinner and therefore get a post for you guys!
Have you tried grilled cauliflower steaks before?
They are surprisingly good! Even the real steak loving hubs really liked them.
This green goddess sauce may not look the fanciest, but it is soooo tasty and really makes the grilled cauliflower steak special.
To make grilled cauliflower steak, I start with one big head of the veggie.
Next, slice it in half. Cut two large “steaks” off each side. I got two big ones out of each head and saved all the extra florets for another recipe.
I seasoned them simply so the sauce would shine.
Next I throw it on the grill and don’t move them until it is time to flip.
That's how I get the pretty grill marks!
Serve the cauliflower steak alone, with the green goddess sauce on the side…
… or drizzle the sauce on the top.
Either way it is one tasty way to eat your vegetables! And it gives you another grilling option for vegetarians.

This is one of my favorite ways to cook cauliflower. Green goddess is a great idea for this dish.
Have an awesome weekend Julie!

I had green goddess dressing on a salad yesterday and I've been wanting to recreate it at home! I'll have to try.
JulieWunder says
Yes! This is so versatile! I use it for salads too!
Jess @hellotofit says
I've never grilled cauliflower before! We don't have a working grill right now, so not much grilling has been done at our place, unfortunately. I'd love some grilled cauliflower, though!
JulieWunder says
Doh! I hope you get a grill soon! Sounds like a great wedding registry thing to me 🙂
Jenny @ apples & kale says
This looks really good! There is a restaurant downtown that serves a cauliflower steak sandwich. It kind of hurts my teeth after a while, so I bet eating it with a knife and fork works better. 🙂
JulieWunder says
Oh yeah! I think a fork and knife would totally work better!
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
I was really into grilled cauliflower last summer but completely forgot about it. This sauce looks great too!
JulieWunder says

I've never grilled cauliflower, but I feel like I should now! I love that you get the grill marks on the veggie : ) I grilled pizza once. It was an interesting experience. The dough was somewhat tricky, but it was delicious pizza!
JulieWunder says
Yes! you should try it! So yummy!
Stacie @ SimplySouthernStacie says
I'm loving your creative recipes lately, Julie! Although, I can't lie...the star of this one may be the green goddess dressing. Yum!
JulieWunder says
Absolutely! The cauliflower really needs something like that in my opinion!
Thank you!!!!
Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
Ohhh, that looks yummy! I never thought of it as a "steak"!
JulieWunder says
Haha! I know! I even ate it with a steak knife! Kind of fun.
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
I LOVE cauliflower "steak," I love grilled anything, and I love green goddess. WINNER right here!

Thanks Susie! So yummy!
Libby Haire says
Good day, Julie,
I had just recently heard of cauliflower steak and am so glad to see how they are prepared. You cut them about an inch thick, didn't you? Thanks so much for sharing this idea. Hope your Tuesday goes well.
JulieWunder says
Yes! I went super thick-- about an inch. I hope you had a great day too!
