Step 1
In a bowl, mix together the vegetable oil, soy sauce, gochujang, honey, lime juice, and red pepper flakes until everything is well combined. Heat your grill to low, then give the grate a quick brush with some oil to keep the broccoli from 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. Give them one more flip, then generously brush on the sauce, making sure to get the stems nicely coated. Let them cook for 5 to 7 minutes, then flip again and brush on more sauce. Keep grilling until the broccoli is cooked through but still has a bit of a bite to the stems, which should take another 5 to 7 minutes.
