Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 head romaine lettuce, cut in half lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon steak seasoning
- 1 lemon, juiced
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
- Season Romaine: Drizzle olive oil evenly over the cut sides of the romaine halves. Sprinkle the steak seasoning generously on top.
- Grill Romaine: Place the romaine halves cut side-down on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the lettuce is slightly wilted with nice grill marks and a bit of char.
- Add Lemon Juice: Remove the romaine from the grill and immediately drizzle fresh lemon juice over the hot lettuce for a bright, tangy finish.
- Serve: Serve the grilled romaine warm as a smoky, flavorful side dish or salad alternative.
Notes
- Use a high-quality steak seasoning for best results or substitute with a mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
- If you don’t have a grill, this recipe can be done on a grill pan over the stovetop.
- Adding Parmesan or a balsamic drizzle after grilling can enhance flavor.
- Ensure the grill is clean and well-oiled to prevent the romaine from sticking and tearing.
- Romaine wilts quickly on the grill, so watch closely to avoid burning.
