Grilled Steak Caesar Salad for Two

About This Recipe

---

This is a quick and healthy one-dish meal with plenty of protein, healthy monosaturated fat, fiber, and good clean carbs.  The Rosemary in the beef adds a nice dimension, but has the added benefit of neutralizing HCAs (cancer-causing substances) that form when meat is cooked at high temperatures.

Ingredients

---

• 1/2 Cup Kickazz Caesar Salad Dressing (Recipe HERE) 
• 2 8-oz Tenderloin Filets (or other lean steak)

2. Brush both sides of each filet with the garlic infused oil and some of the garlic bits.
   
3. Sprinkle both sides of each filet with the rosemary, and fresh ground pepper and salt to taste.
   
4. Grill to desired temperature, allow steaks to rest for 20 minutes after grilling, and slice each steak into thin strips.
   
5. Combine romaine, croutons, onion, 3/4 of the Parmesan cheese, and 3/4 of the dressing into a medium salad bowl and toss to thoroughly to coat all leaves.
   
6. Divide salad mixture among two large plates and top with steak strips.  Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan Cheese and drizzle with remaining dressing. Garnish with anchovy fillets.
