# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It turns an everyday vegetable into something you actually crave, with crispy golden edges and a bold sauce that wakes up your taste buds.
  • The jalapeño chimichurri is so good youll want to spoon it over everything else in your kitchen for the next three days.
02 -
  • The core is your friend, it holds the cabbage steak together, so slice carefully and keep it intact or your steaks will fall apart in the oven.
  • Flipping halfway through is not optional, it ensures even browning and prevents one side from burning while the other stays pale.
03 -
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the finished steaks for an extra layer of brightness that cuts through the richness of the oil.
  • If you want a milder chimichurri, roast the jalapeños first to soften their heat and add a smoky sweetness.
