Directions
Blend together the vegetable oil, soy sauce, gochujang, honey, lime juice, and red pepper flakes in a bowl until everything is well combined. Heat up your grill to low and give the grate a quick brush with oil to prevent sticking. Place the broccoli steaks on the grill, cover it, and let them cook for about 2 minutes. Flip them over and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side. Turn the broccoli again and slather on a generous amount of the sauce, making sure to get the stems nicely coated. Let them cook for 5 to 7 minutes, then flip once more, brush on more sauce, and grill for another 5 to 7 minutes until the stems are tender but still have a bit of bite. Enjoy!
How To Serve This Dish
Pair this with grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal. It also works well tossed into salads or served alongside rice and beans. A squeeze of lemon juice right before serving adds a bright finish.
How To Keep It Fresh
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or oven to keep the broccoli crisp. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
