Remove the large leaves covering the stem of the cauliflower. Save for another use or discard them.
Cut the cauliflower in half through the middle. Now cut each half into two. You should now have 4 equally sized cauliflower segments.
Lay each quartered segment flat on the cutting board (stem side down). Positioning your knife at a 45 degrees angle, cut off the stem.
Using your hands, separate the florets from the bunch. Cut any large florets in half to keep all florets roughly the same size (for even cooking).
How to Cut Cauliflower Steaks
Choose the largest cauliflower at the store. These are easier to cut into steaks.
Remove the large leaves from the cauliflower and trim the stem end.
Stand the cauliflower upright on the cutting board. Cut the cauliflower in half down the center.
Cut each half into two ¾ inch thick slices. Save the ends and use for another recipe.
Notes
Cutting board: Start with a sturdy cutting board or surface. If your cutting board is wobbly for some reason, place a damp kitchen towel underneath to stabilize it.
Knife: Using a sharp chefs knife makes cutting cauliflower much easier. I prefer to use a 10-inch chef knife, but even a 7 or 8-inch knife would work here.
