Steak Caesar Salad
This steak Caesar salad combines tender, pan-seared filet steak with crisp romaine, creamy Caesar dressing, and classic toppings for a simple but satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 2 filet steaks
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 heads romaine lettuce, chopped
- ½ cup caesar dressing
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup croutons
Instructions
- Pat the filet steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of oil. Sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- In a large bowl, toss the chopped romaine with the Caesar dressing until evenly coated.
- Divide the dressed lettuce between two plates. Top with sliced steak, shredded parmesan, and croutons. Serve immediately.

Notes
- Let the steak rest: Resting the steak for about 5 minutes before slicing helps keep it juicy.
- Slice against the grain: Cutting the steak against the grain makes each bite more tender.
- Don’t overdress the salad: Start with less Caesar dressing and add more as needed to keep the lettuce crisp.
- Serve immediately: Steak Caesar salad is best enjoyed right after assembling so the lettuce stays fresh.
- Serving suggestions: Pair with Cauliflower Soup or Gluten-Free Focaccia for a well-rounded dinner.
