Thanks for sharing this - I used to grill meats all day but since going planet based - I haven't turned on the grill. But this has re-energized me. Thank you! I also can't believe only 56k subs - get on it people. This channel deserves a 1M - great content and production!

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Thanks 1M, MStar!! We appreciate your support and will keep the videos coming!!

[@justchilling5448]

I am totally the same as you. I got a brand new Napoleon Rogue and within a year went plant based. I am getting bored of grilling fake sausages and burgers on it now. This video has inspired me to be more adventurous with it.

It’s a bit difficult when you have to watch 4 videos to hope you got the correct instructions and there are no printables.

Derek’s musical tongs help him infuse flavors in his dishes. 😉 Looks delicious as usual!

[@DerekSarnoChef]

😂 Totally...the tong playing infuses the veg with good vibes.

[@GardenofEydie]

Derek!!! So brilliant creating fillet of aubergine, butternut squash steaks, etc....this grilling bonanza is amazing. Thank you for the inspiration.

The doll house exit made me laugh outloud! Thank you. Laughs are few and far between these days.❤ I would like to see some more salads and different oil-free dressings. I run out of ideas and tend to go with a couple of old favs. Love your and your bro's videos. Thank you. Especially now, they are great to have. 🙏

[@nickykelleher8547]

Firstly I love all of your shows and I have a black lab mix so I love Frankie too. I taught this was a new video but then I was like why is Derek a bit off an then I realised it was a older video. There is a big difference in your confidence in the newer ones.

[@marythomas880]

Thank you so much...this technique is a real game changer!

[@paulawestcott7228]

Thank for sharing, I just need to get good at making sauces. I did learn to make the BBQ sauce to start with.

Thank you!!

Simple yet looks fabulous. I have a fridge full of your Wicked sauces and spices. They make the mundane into the amazing, Come back to the UK soon, we miss you.

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Aw, thank you, Sandra! It's so cool to (finally!) see our products out in the world and your feedback is extremely validating. Thank you!!

[@ginduf]

yum! looks so good! i can't wait until it warms up enough here (and i can go shopping to get the veggies) to go outside and barbecue... i just batch cooked six quarts of beans that would go perfect with that... maybe i'll slice up some onions and grill them too. 🤔 if it's still cold and raining, i'll have to get creative with my griddler. watching you scoop the eggplant innards out of their skin reminded me of the last time i made baba ganoush, i wrapped a tray of eggplants with parchment to roast them to keep the skin from getting tough and then ground the skin with the fleshy part, it turned out great... a strange gray color but tasted great. 😅 thank you for giving me some more ideas and a video that made me smile. stay safe and healthy!

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Thank you for your nice comments, and glad to be able to brighten up a gloomy day! Baba ganoush sounds delicious right now!!

[@rose_z_m]

Woooooww!!! My kind of barbecue! I have a red cabbage I’m going to need to try this! So smart!

[@DerekSarnoChef]

It's so good! Definitely try these techniques...remember to watch the "hotbox" technique so that you get it ready for the grill! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIPNq2WojZt4pa8

Very cool! We’ll get you sorted and start planning some more sauce & seasoning videos to help out!

[@timlogg39]

This looks so so good! have you got any tips for how to serve the aubergine fillets?

[@DerekSarnoChef]

You can serve them up as-is...just like a BBQ chicken breast or other main entree. You can also pull or shred them and serve them on bread or a squishy roll like a pulled pork sandwich.

[@timlogg39]

@@DerekSarnoChef Great, thanks!

[@chez395]

If I don't use an outdoor grill, what temp would I put the oven on? Or would I just use the stovetop?

[@shelleysmith4017]

Love all the ideas and looking forward to making some tomorrow. Just curious, what do you serve with these as sides at your bbq. I have homemade baked beans and a zesty fruit salad, but would love some other ideas for a 100% vegan bbq that I can convince omni friends and family that a cruelty free bbq is not just animal friendly and cruelty free but freaking delicious. I always add your pulled king oyster mushrooms to our bbq (it was this recipe that convinced my “never eating that rabbit food” to give up pork, so thank you!). as the meat eaters do not realise there is no meat and I do not make them aware (we always just call it pulled pork). I always roast my green cabbage in the oven, never thought to add to the bbq. I’ll bet cauliflower steaks with a spicy bbq sauce would be amazing as well. But I just adore the look of the red cabbage steaks in the grill! You have inspired me to try a variety of veg on the grill. I am an American living in Scotland...if we waited for lovely weather to have a bbq, we would never have a bbq or maybe just once or twice a year lol, so we bbq all year round but built a cover over the bbq to stop the rain from getting in lol. But as I say I coukd really use some ideas for the sides with these gorgeous bbq veg steaks. Thanks so much!

[@michellemeiners443]

If I want to roast several cabbages can I just do it in foil instead of a Dutch oven?

[@laurelnotley9541]

Chef, do the sauces have enough salt in them that you don't have to salt and rest the eggplants beforehand to get rid of the bitter taste in them?

[@aliciav4352]

Nice🥰💕

[@Karavancex]

So... did you pre cook all of it or just the obergine?

[@RaoVenu]

Looks yummy. However, with all those sauces, are those vegetables healthy to eat?
