Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces strip steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 pieces anchovy fillets, finely chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Pat the steaks dry and rub them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season both sides evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.
Place the steaks on the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for 4–5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, etc.).
Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest on a plate, tented with foil, for 5–10 minutes to retain juices.
While the steaks are resting, prepare the Caesar dressing. In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped anchovies (if using). Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
To serve, place each steak on a plate and generously spoon the Caesar dressing over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan, if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
