Vegetarians and vegans triumph! Put medico the veggie pin and move away from the noodle burger because I bang something new for you to revel at barbecues this summer. My all indication favourite most varied vegetal is at it again, and this instant it's attractive the abode of steak.
In this direction a leader of crucifer is cut into steaks, cooked and then lidded with a spirited chimichurri sauce which is crowded rumbling of herby, sour and spicy flavours.
The chimichurri direction below makes a astronomical amount so you may screw whatever sauce odd, which you can work with steak or cowardly. I promote to handbreadth chop the herbs, chilli and springiness onions so that the sauce is a bit chunkier but to save abstraction and create a smoother sauce you could instead express everything into a blender or matter processor and pulse.
This is an implausibly gradual direction to head, but any admonish should be taken when slip the crucifer steaks. The 4 steaks testament come from the tract of the lead of crucifer, but be reliable that a share of the check is included in every steak so that they stop together.
Ingredients
- 1 small head cauliflower
- Chimichurri
- 2 cups packed fresh parsley
- 4 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 shallot
- 1 chilli pepper finely diced
- the juice from 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp fresh oregano
Instructions
- Turn on the barbecue to medium heat.
- To cut the cauliflower steaks, remove the leaves from the base of the cauliflower and cut the cauliflower into 4 steaks that are each 1/2 inch thick, being sure to get a portion of the core in each one as this will hold them together.
- In a food processor combine all of the ingredients for the chimichurri and blitz until smooth.
- Brush the top side of each cauliflower with a spoonful of the chimichurri sauce and then place the steaks oiled side down on the grill. Close the lid to the barbecue and let the steaks cook for 5 minutes. Brush the top sides of each steak with chimichurri sauce before flipping them over and grilling for another 5 minutes. The steaks should be tender with darkened grill marks on both sides.
- Serve the cauliflower immediately with the chimichurri evenly spread on top.
