Preheat oven to 425°F. Remove outer leaves from cauliflower and slice from top to bottom into 2 thick steaks about 1.5 inches each (the core holds each steak together — keep it intact). Reserve any florets that fall off for another use.

Brush both sides of the cauliflower steaks generously with olive oil. Mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together and sprinkle evenly over both sides.

Heat an oven-safe skillet over high heat until very hot. Sear cauliflower steaks 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast 12–15 minutes until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a knife and the edges are caramelized.

Make chimichurri: blend parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and salt in a food processor until finely chopped. With the machine running, drizzle in olive oil until emulsified. Taste and season. Serve steaks with chimichurri spooned generously over the top.
