Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs (2 slices whirled in the food processor will do it!)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper
- 1 head romaine lettuce, cut into bite sized pieces (about 4 cups)
- 2 cups steak, cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces. Leftovers are great for this recipe!
- Shaved or grated parmesan cheese for garnish
- Your favorite Caesar dressing
Instructions
- Put breadcrumbs, oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir continuously until crumbs are golden and crispy. Transfer to a small bowl.
- Put lettuce in a large bowl. With clean hands, add dressing in small increments until the lettuce is just coated. Taste as you go along!
- Add the steak and toss again. Divide among plates.
- Top with parmesan and bread crumbs. Drizzle on a little more dressing. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
-
- Steak: This is the PERFECT way to use up any leftover steak you have around. If you are cooking steak specially for this recipe, I like using anything from tenderloin (if I am feeling fancy!) to hangar steak (my current fave). But use whatever YOUR current fave is, and if you need a refresher, here’s some info on how to grill the perfect steak!
-
- Caesar Dressing: I tend to use the bottled kind, because I think it tastes just fine and it saves some time. But when I’m feeling ambitious, I love this recipe for homemade Caesar dressing.
-
- Bread crumbs: Make them fresh…it only takes a few minutes and it makes a big taste difference. And it’s a great way to use up that last slice of bread or hot dog roll.
