Indulge in a hearty steak & bacon Caesar salad loaded with bold flavors and crispy textures. A comfort food twist on a classic that's truly satisfying!
Ingredients
- • Ribeye steak: 1 lb
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Salt and pepper: to taste
- • Thick-cut bacon: 6 slices
- • Romaine lettuce: 2 heads, chopped
- • Cherry tomatoes: 1 cup, halved
- • Parmesan cheese: 1/2 cup, shaved
- • Croutons: 1 cup
- • Caesar dressing: 1/2 cup
- • Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- 2 Season the ribeye steak with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- 3 In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Once cooled, chop into bite-sized pieces.
- 4 In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and croutons. Add the sliced steak and chopped bacon on top.
- 5 Drizzle the Caesar dressing and lemon juice over the salad. Toss gently to ensure everything is well coated.
- 6 Top the salad with shaved Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of indulgence and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- • Pair this indulgent salad with a refreshing glass of iced tea or a light lager to complement the rich flavors of the steak and bacon. For an added touch of elegance, serve with a side of warm, crusty bread. A simple fruit sorbet makes for a delightful dessert, cleansing the palate after such a hearty meal.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, keep the steak, bacon, and salad components separate in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Consume within 2 days for best quality. Reheat the steak and bacon in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through before assembling the salad again.
