For the Spicy Lime and Cilantro Sauce
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Slice cabbage into 1/2-inch-thick pieces vertically. (See video.)
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter or heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 or 2 cabbage steaks (depending on the size of your cast-iron skillet); lightly season with a dash of salt, black ground pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder. Cook 3 to 4 minutes. Place the cabbage steaks in a single layer, seared side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
