Polish Grilled Red Cabbage Steaks on Arteflame

Introduction

Experience the rich, smoky flavors of Polish cuisine with these grilled red cabbage steaks. Using the Arteflame grill, each cabbage slice develops a beautifully caramelized crust while remaining tender inside—perfectly seared on the flat griddle cooktop with buttery goodness for an irresistible taste!

Ingredients

• 1 head of red cabbage, cut into thick steaks
• 4 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the soaked napkins in the grill.
3. Stack firewood over the napkins.
4. Light the paper napkins and wait about 20 minutes for the grill to heat up.

Step 2: Prepare the cabbage steaks

1. Cut the red cabbage into thick steaks, about 1-inch thick, keeping the core intact to hold the slices together.
2. Brush each cabbage steak generously with melted butter on both sides.
3. Sprinkle smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over the cabbage.

Step 3: Grill the cabbage steaks

1. Place the cabbage steaks on the flat griddle cooktop near the center for higher heat.
2. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, pressing slightly to achieve an even sear.
3. Move them towards the outer edge of the flat top to allow them to finish cooking gently.

Step 4: Finish and serve

1. Drizzle the grilled cabbage steaks with apple cider vinegar for a tangy flavor boost.
2. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
3. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips

• Use butter instead of oil for richer flavor.
• Rotate the cabbage steaks depending on heat intensity to achieve an even cook.
• The outer edges of the Arteflame cooktop are cooler, useful for keeping food warm.
