Steak caesar salad is a hearty and satisfying dish that combines the rich, savory flavors of grilled steak with the classic taste of Caesar salad.

This salad features tender, juicy steak slices atop crisp romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons, and a creamy Caesar dressing, all garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Our version doesn’t contain anchovies in the dressing but if that’s a key ingredient for you in Caesar salad, you’re welcome to modify the dressing to suit your taste.

Let’s begin!

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the steak:

  • 1 lb steak (such as ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the salad:

  • 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup croutons
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)

For the dressing:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the steak (10 minutes): Rub the steak with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  2. Cook the steak (10-15 minutes): Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
  3. Prepare the dressing (5 minutes): In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
  4. Assemble the salad (5 minutes): In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, croutons, and cherry tomatoes if using. Drizzle the Caesar dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Add the steak (2 minutes): Arrange the thinly sliced steak on top of the salad. Sprinkle with additional grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Serve the Steak Caesar Salad immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and a few extra croutons if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, you can marinate the steak in the refrigerator for a few hours before cooking.

This salad is versatile, so feel free to add other ingredients like avocado, hard-boiled eggs, or bacon for extra richness.
