Turn a simple Caesar salad into an impressive dinner platter by using your BBQ grill or a simple stovetop grill pan.
Why We Love This Recipe
This salad is a full dinner. It’s quick and easy to make. Grilled robust Romaine lettuce gives it a slightly smoky flavor that intensifies the lettuce flavor while keeping it crispy. If you’ve never grilled Romain lettuce, you must try it. It’s always a big hit at my house.
Ingredients
Let’s Make Grilled Steak Caesar Salad
- Preheat both the oven and the grill to 350°
- Start by preparing the croutons. Cut the slices of bread into bite-sized cubes.
- Toss them in olive oil, place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, and bake them for 10-15 minutes. (Because all ovens are different, the time may be more or less, so watch them closely and remove them when crispy.)
- Clean the Romaine lettuce, then slice it lengthwise. Brush the cut side with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, place them on the hot grill or grill pan cut-side down, and grill for 1-2 minutes until they start to brown. No need to grill the other side of the lettuce. Remove them from the grill and set them aside to cool.
- Salt and pepper both sides of the steaks and grill them to your desired doneness.
- Remove the steaks from the grill, cover them with foil, and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Place olive oil, grated parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic in a blender and blend until smooth.
- To plate the salad, lay the lettuce cut side up on a platter, slice the steaks and lay them on the side and across the lettuce, drizzle everything with the dressing, add croutons, and extra-thin slices of parmesan cheese.
Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
- The salad dressing for this recipe can be made up to 3 days ahead. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It may need to be re-blended or shaken well before serving.
- Always wash Romaine lettuce before serving. I recommend cutting it lengthwise, rinsing it thoroughly in cool water, and placing it facedown on a clean kitchen towel for about 15 minutes. Flip it over and let it dry for another 10 minutes.
