Indulge in a hearty Steakhouse Caesar Salad with crispy prosciutto, juicy steak, and smoked gouda. A big, beautiful salad that satisfies cravings!
Ingredients
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Ribeye steak (or sirloin): 1 pound
- • Salt and pepper: to taste
- • Prosciutto slices: 6
- • Romaine lettuce: 2 hearts, chopped
- • Cherry tomatoes: 1 cup, halved
- • Smoked gouda cheese: 1/2 cup, grated
- • Croutons: 1 cup, preferably homemade
- • Caesar dressing: 1/2 cup
- • Lemon: 1, juiced
- • Parmesan cheese: 1/4 cup, shaved
- • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper on both sides. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side until a brown crust forms. Transfer to the oven and roast for another 8-10 minutes for medium-rare or adjust to your preferred doneness. Let it rest before slicing.
- 3 Meanwhile, place prosciutto slices on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until crispy. Remove and let them cool.
- 4 In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, smoked gouda, and croutons.
- 5 Slice the steak into thin strips and arrange over the salad. Break the crispy prosciutto into pieces and sprinkle on top.
- 6 In a small bowl, whisk together the Caesar dressing, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Drizzle over the salad.
- 7 Garnish with shaved Parmesan. Toss gently to combine all ingredients and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- • This salad pairs wonderfully with a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc or a light red like Pinot Noir, enhancing the rich flavors of the steak and cheese. For a full steakhouse experience, serve with a side of warm garlic bread or buttery mashed potatoes. As a garnish, consider adding freshly cracked black pepper or a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added color and aroma.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, keep the components separate. Store the steak and prosciutto in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The salad ingredients and dressing can be stored separately for the same duration. When ready to eat, reheat the steak gently in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through and assemble the salad fresh.
