  • Cooking Method: Grilling
  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Cuisine Type: Fusion

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1 cup croutons
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F or 230°C). Feel those muscles tensing?
  2. Season the steak with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on both sides. Give it a little massage. It deserves it.
  3. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust time if you prefer your steak mooing or still in the shade.
  4. Remove steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Think of it as a spa day for the steak.
  5. While the steak is resting, chop the romaine lettuce and place it in a large salad bowl.

  7. Arrange the steak slices on top of the lettuce. It’s the VIP at this salad party.
  8. Drizzle the Caesar dressing evenly over the salad. Channel your inner Jackson Pollock.
  9. Sprinkle croutons and grated Parmesan cheese over the top. It’s snowing deliciousness.
  10. Serve with lemon wedges on the side. Because every hero needs a sidekick.
