Can you believe 4th of July is around the corner?! I’m sure you’ve got all your meats ready to grill up, but check this out – a cabbage steak. Yep! And it’s smothered in bacon and bleu cheese, then marinated in McCormick Grill Mates goodness…
This Grilled Cabbage Steak With Bacon and Blue Cheese recipe is something I could eat all day long. It’s an awesome way to up your game this 4th of July and impress your guests with something to eat alongside the grilled meat you’re going to knock out of the park as well!
If you’re looking for some other cool grilling ideas, McCormick’s Grilling Flavor Forecast features the hottest trends set to deliver epic grilled flavors all season long and bring simple tips to life in backyards across America. This grilled cabbage steak was one of their featured recipes, and it’s such an awesome idea.
The prep for this recipe can easily be done in advance. Cook your bacon (saving some of the drippings), and get your cabbage marinated. It only takes 30 minutes, but man, it’s so delicious I’d love to do it overnight to really suck in the flavor!
When you’re ready to cook, just grill it up for about 10-12 minutes and you’re good to go! Top with blue cheese, green onion and chopped bacon and devour!
So be different this 4th Of July! Offer up some grilled fruits or veggies, even this grilled cabbage; watch it go in minutes. Its different than the usual food you’re used to eating at a bbq, so your guests are going to gravitate towards it.
Plus, it will be the one thing they talk about on the way home, other than you’re awesome fireworks. Me on the other hand, I have a hand full of pop-its. So I think I’ll be trying to impress with the food other than my safe “fireworks”…
