Ingredients

Homemade Caesar Dressing:

  • ¾ cup mayo
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 anchovy fillets finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan
  • teaspoon kosher salt
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon water plus a splash more if needed

Salad Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoon olive oil divided
  • 16 oz steak ribeye, sirloin, or your favorite cut
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1-2 heads romaine or Bibb lettuce
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Optional: ⅔ cup panko breadcrumbs toasted

Instructions

  • Make the dressing - whisk all ingredients together in a bowl. Thin with water to your preferred consistency.
  • Toast breadcrumbs: Heat 2 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet. Add panko and stir until golden (5-7 mins). Season with salt and set aside.
