Ingredients

  • 1 head green cabbage cut into 4-6 sections, about 1-inches thick

Cabbage Seasoning

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • 1 Tablespoon white onion grated
  • ½ Tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne
  • 3 cloves garlic grated

Beer Glaze Mop Sauce

  • ½ cup IPA beer
  • ½ cup beef stock
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 Tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon Apple Jalapeno BBQ Sauce optional

Instructions

  • Preheat. Preheat your grill to 400 degrees F.
  • Prep. Peel any deteriorated outer leaves from the cabbage, then slice it into 4-6, 1-inch thick pieces.
  • Make the mop sauce. In a saucepot, bring the beer and beef stock to a boil. Turn off the heat and stir in the brown sugar and salt until dissolved. Once dissolved, stir in the remaining ingredients. Set aside until needed for basting.
  • Season. Mix the oil, salt, paprika, cayenne, Dijon, and honey in a small bowl. Then, grate in the garlic and onion and stir to combine. Brush all the seasoning onto the cabbage slices, getting it between as many layers as possible.
  • Grill. Place on the grill at 400 F for 30 minutes, flipping and mopping it every 5 minutes.
  • Serve. Remove the cabbage steaks from the grill and serve immediately.
