Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Low‑sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five‑spice powder
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- 1
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium‑high heat and lightly oil the grates.
- 2
Trim the cauliflower and cut it into 1‑inch‑thick steaks, aiming for three large pieces.
- 3
In a small bowl whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, erythritol, minced garlic, grated ginger, five‑spice powder, and apple cider vinegar to form the Char Siu glaze.

Brush both sides of each cauliflower steak generously with the glaze, reserving any leftover glaze for basting.

Grill the steaks for about 8‑10 minutes per side, brushing with additional glaze halfway through, until they are tender, lightly charred, and the glaze is caramelized.
- 6
Transfer the steaks to a serving platter, drizzle with any remaining glaze, and serve immediately.
