Take-out Tuesday, Grilled Cabbage Steaks with Warm Bacon Vinaigrette
Now that temps are warming up,
here’s a different and delicious recipe to try on your grill
{I’ll show you how to bake it in your oven too}
Cabbage is cut into thick slices and grilled
then topped with a warm bacon vinaigrette
We had this as a side with BBQ chicken
You could serve it as a main course too, with a slice of garlic bread
Prepare the vinaigrette by first cooking chopped bacon
Remove bacon from skillet and drain
Combine the rendered fat in the skillet with sherry vinegar, mustard, shallot
Add bacon pieces back to skillet and stir
Keep dressing warm while cabbage is cooking
Cut base off cabbage and cut the middle of cabbage into 4 1″ slices,
reserving the smaller top of cabbage for another use
Brush both sides of slices with olive oil and season with salt & pepper
Place cabbage steaks on a preheated grill,
about 450 degrees, for 5 minutes per side
Or roast at 400 degrees on a parchment lined baking sheet
for 25-30 minutes
Place cabbage steaks on plates and pour warm bacon vinaigrette over the top

I would eat literally anything with BACON :-)) Love the grilled marks on the cabbage steak..this has me long for summer. We had some snow yesterday and this morning….unbelievable! Snow in April..
Me too! This is a nice change for a different side dish or salad
This is a very unique recipe. I will give a try.
Bacon makes anything delicious!
I bet this is so delicious!
Yes! Thanks Martha
Try-try again. You make it look easy. I attempted something similar and the cabbage fell apart while grilling. Your yummy looking bacon topping may lure me back to try again. It really does look wonderful! I think the secret is how you sliced it so thick. Smart lady!
Well, mine sort of fell apart too, but cutting it in pretty thick slices does help, and you can roast it in the oven with no fall apart worries!
Love this idea! Grilled cabbage is a favorite!
Oh good, thanks Leslie!
Jenna, this sounds yummy, and perfect for the warmer days. I’m always trying to come up with different sides dishes. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Enjoy your day!
It’s a nice change up, thanks Shannon!
Another goodie my friend, Jenna! YUM!
Happy Day to You!
Thanks Nancy!
This sounds great, especially with the bacon vinaigrette! YUMMY!
The vinaigrette is so good, it would be great on almost anything!
Very nice Jenna! Grilled cabbage has been on my list of things to try for a very long time-sounds great:@)
Oh good! Even the little boys ate it {because of the bacon!}
This looks amazing. We love grilled cabbage steaks but I have never tried the Bacon Vinaigrette. Now that is a must try! You make the best stuff. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thank you Cindy 😘
Sure wish I lived next door to you! Everything you make looks so delish!
Thanks so much Diane!
Bacon adds so much flavor to anything! This really sounds good, Jenna! Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you Pam, it’s a nice change up from the usual side dishes. I hate that we have so much rain in the forecast the next few days, this sunny weather has been so lovely!
This really does look perfect for a warm night!
Thanks Elizabeth, we really enjoyed it!
Jenna, I love cabbage and always have some in my fridge. I gave grilled cauliflower steaks, but not cabbage ones. These sound heavenly with the bacon! Thank you!
Thank you Kitty, it makes a wonderful and different side dish!
