Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 heads of romaine washed and dried
  • 1 pound flank steak
  • favorite Caesar dressing
  • shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Croutons
  • Italian seasonings
  • olive oil
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • salt & pepper

Method
 

  1. Start with your flank steak, place it in a bowl and mix together the Italian seasonings, minced garlic and olive oil and let marinate for 30 minutes. While the steak marinated, wash your romaine, cut off the end and cut in half and set to the side.
  2. Once marinated, take it out and let sit for 10 minutes. Place on a hot grill and cook to your liking. Once grilled, take off and let rest. While the steak rests, place your romaine on the grill. Grill on both sides for 3-4 minutes each.
  3. Place your romaine on a cutting board. Slice the steak and place on top. Top with cheese, dressing, croutons, salt and pepper and enjoy!

Notes

Storage:
  • Store leftover salad components separately (steak, lettuce, croutons, dressing), if possible, for maximum freshness and to prevent sogginess. They'll each keep in airtight containers in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat steak gently on the stove, or enjoy chilled or at room temperature once tossed with remaining salad ingredients.
Tips:
  • You can prep the salad ingredients ahead of time and make the dressing in advance. You can even marinate the steak ahead of time, or cook the steak and store until you're ready to assemble the salad and serve.
