Instructions:
Prepare the Cabbage:

Cool and Slice:

- Slice the cabbage into 1-2 inch thick steaks.
Reduce the Sauce:

Sear the Cabbage Steaks:

- Add more oil to the pan to saturate the steaks.
Glaze and Finish:
- Top the seared cabbage steaks with the reduced BBQ sauce.
- Place the cabbage steaks back in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the tops are slightly crispy.
