Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ribeye steak (or your preferred cut)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved
- 1 cup Croutons
- 0.5 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 whole Lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
1. Remove the steak from the fridge and let it come to room temperature for 15-20 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
2. Pat the steak dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
3. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
4. When the oil is hot, place the steak in the skillet. Sear for 3-5 minutes on each side until your desired doneness is reached (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
5. Once cooked, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
6. While the steak is resting, wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop or tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
7. In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, and croutons.
8. Drizzle Caesar dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
9. Arrange the sliced steak over the salad. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese if desired and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
10. Serve immediately to enjoy the flavors at their peak.
