These grilled cauliflower steaks are beautifully caramelized with a flavorful smoky taste, and the presentation is lovely — a delicious change from the norm! I like my cauliflower a little on the firm side, so add a few extra minutes if you like it softer.

- 0.25 cups olive oil
- 1 lemon , juiced

Remove the tough bottom leaves from each cauliflower, taking care not to remove the stem. Place the cauliflower heads onto a cutting board with the stem side facing upwards; cut vertically on both sides of the stem to remove the loose florets. Cut each cauliflower vertically through the stem into 2 even "steaks", 1 to 1 ½ inches thick; remove any remaining small leaves from each steak. Place cauliflower steaks on a baking sheet.

Brush one side of each steak with some of the oil mixture. Place steaks on the preheated grill, oiled-side down; grill for 5 minutes. Brush more oil mixture on top of steaks and gently flip over; grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes more. Drizzle with any remaining oil and remove to a plate. Sprinkle with cilantro.
