Directions
Mix together the vegetable oil, soy sauce, gochujang, honey, lime juice, and red pepper flakes in a bowl to make the sauce. Heat your grill to a low temperature and give the grates a quick brush with oil to prevent sticking. Place the broccoli steaks on the grill, cover, and let them cook for about 2 minutes. Flip them over and cook for another 2 minutes. Give the broccoli another flip, then generously brush the sauce all over, especially on the stems. Let them cook for 5 to 7 minutes, then flip again, brush on more sauce, and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes until the stems are tender but still have a nice bite.
How To Serve This Dish
Serve alongside grilled chicken or fish for a balanced meal. It also pairs well with quinoa or rice bowls. Drizzle with a little extra lemon juice or sprinkle with parmesan cheese before serving for added flavor.
Storage Instructions
Store leftover broccoli in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best eaten within 2 days to keep the texture fresh. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to avoid overcooking.
