Instructions
Grilled Steak

  1. Allow the steak to sit at room temperature for about 20 mins. Brush both sides with olive oil and season generously on both sides with kosher salt and pepper.

  2. Set the grill to high heat. Grill the steak for about 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a plate and allow the steak to rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Caesar Dressing

  1. Whisk all ingredients except olive oil together in a small bowl, and then add the oil in a steady stream while continually whisking. Alternatively the dressing can be blended in a food processor or mini prep. Set aside.

Make the Salad
  1. Spilt the lettuce heads in half and brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  2. Grill Romaine for about 3 mins per side at med/high until softened and slightly charred.

  3. Brush the baguette or roll with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the bread for about 1-2 minutes per side and then cut into cubes.

  4. Arrange the romaine halves, steak slices , croutons, parmesan and dressing as a composed salad. Alternatively, you can chop up the lettuce, toss with dressing, and top with steak slices, croutons, and parmesan shavings.

Recipe Notes
  • Allow the steak to sit at room temperature for at least 20 mins before grilling so they steak cooks evenly.
  • Be sure to let the steak rest, covered, for at least 5 minutes before slicing to preserve the juices.
  • Keep an eye on the bread and romaine lettuce as you grill. They can burn in a blink!
  • A mini prep or food processor are ideal for keeping dressings emulsified. No food processor? Simply add the oil into the other ingredients in a slow, steady stream while vigorously whisking.
  • Serve this as a composed salad on a big board for a pretty presentation, or chop it up and mix it together for easy eating!
