40 minForget the sad side salad. This one fights back.
Thick-cut steak, seared until it gets that gorgeous crust, lands on a bed of crisp romaine tossed in a from-scratch Caesar dressing built with egg, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and just enough garlic to keep things honest.
Then comes the real twist: crumbled blue cheese alongside the classic Parm, giving every bite a little extra edge.
Chef Tips
- Bring your steak to room temperature before cooking for an even sear and juicier results
- Use any tender cut you like, or repurpose leftover filet from last night’s dinner
- Slice steak against the grain in thin strips so it stays tender in the salad
- Toss the dressing and warm meat juices together right before serving for maximum flavor
