Grilled Cauliflower Steaks

Vegetable Side Dish - BBQ and Grilling

Cutting cauliflower into \"steaks\" and grilling them not only gives a flavorful, caramelized, and smoky taste, the presentation is lovely! A delicious change from boring old steamed cauliflower! I like my cauliflower a little on the firm side, so add a few extra minutes if you like it softer.
