Bacon-Ranch Grilled Cabbage Steaks

Cauliflower seems to steal the show these days and while I love a good cauliflower steak, they need some competition. Cabbage steaks hold together wonderfully on the grill and are simple to prepare.

Step: 1

Cut cabbage in half through the core. Discard any loose leaves. Cut two 3/4-inch steaks from each half of cabbage.

Step: 2

Whisk olive oil, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Brush oil over one side of each steak and let sit for 5 minutes to absorb. Flip steaks over and brush with remaining oil.

Step: 3

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step: 4

Place steaks directly on the grate and grill for 5 minutes. Using tongs, carefully flip the steaks over and grill for 5 minutes more.

Step: 5

Transfer steaks to serving plates. Drizzle 1 tablespoon ranch dressing over each and top with crumbled bacon.
