Description
A delicious and hearty Steak Caesar Salad that combines tender steak with fresh romaine and creamy Caesar dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz flank steak or sirloin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- ¼ cup shaved or grated parmesan
- 1 cup croutons (homemade or store-bought)
- Optional: lemon wedges, black pepper for topping
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: splash of anchovy paste (for classic Caesar flavor)
Instructions
- Season steak with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook steak for 3–4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- In a large bowl, toss chopped romaine with Caesar dressing until lightly coated.
- Divide salad between two plates and top with sliced steak, croutons, and shaved parmesan. Finish with cracked black pepper and a squeeze of lemon, if you like.
Notes
- For a more intense flavor, add a splash of anchovy paste to the dressing.
- Make sure to slice the steak against the grain for tenderness.
