- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions
- Remove the outer leaves of cauliflower with a sharp knife. Cut the cauliflower in half. Cut each half into 1-inch thick slices.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with garlic powder, turmeric powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Brush the marinade all over the steak.
