Traditional Caesar salad dressing uses egg yolk to make it creamy. Here we use mayo instead for the same rich results without the raw egg.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon anchovy paste

  • 1 small clove garlic, grated

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 pound flank or sirloin steak (about 1 1/4 inches thick), trimmed

  • ¼ teaspoon salt plus a pinch, divided

  • 1 large tomato, chopped

  • ½ cup thinly sliced red onion

  • 1 large head romaine lettuce, cut lengthwise into quarters

  • Lemon wedges for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium.

  2. Whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, oil, mustard, anchovy paste, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Stir in Parmesan. Set aside.

  3. Sprinkle both sides of steak with 1/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

  4. Oil the grill rack. Grill the steak, flipping once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 125°F for medium-rare, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a clean cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain.

  5. Meanwhile, toss tomato, onion and the remaining pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Arrange romaine on a platter and top with the tomato mixture and the steak. Drizzle with the reserved dressing and serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
