Uneven cauliflower steaks with deep char and a rough red pepper romesco — **TooGut pick**Flexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

A cauliflower only yields two or three true centre steaks. Grill those intact and cook the naturally broken side florets beside them, because forcing every piece into a matching slab wastes food and looks less appetising.

One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Cut honestly

Trim the leaves but keep the core. Cut two or three 3 cm centre steaks and gather the side florets rather than discarding them.

Give the centre a head start

Steam the steaks and large florets for 5 minutes, then dry thoroughly. Brush with oil, paprika and salt.

Pulse a rough romesco

Pulse capsicum, almonds, tomatoes, vinegar and garlic until coarse and spoonable. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and season.

Barbecue on both faces

Cook cauliflower over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes a side, shifting smaller florets sooner, until deeply charred and tender.

Spoon, do not stripe

Spread romesco loosely on a platter, settle the cauliflower into it and squeeze over the charred lemon halves.
