💰Cheaper: store-bought croutons

Toasted whole grain bread is healthier and can be made at home.

Make the salad dressing by combining mayonnaise and Greek yogurt in a bowl.

Add Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, anchovy paste, black pepper, and half of the Parmesan cheese to the bowl and whisk until smooth.

Cut the romaine lettuce in half lengthwise, leaving most of the root on.

Season the steak liberally with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides.

Grill the steak over direct heat to develop a crust, then move it to a cooler side of the grill to finish cooking with the lid on.

Check the internal temperature of the steak, aiming for 125 to 130 degrees for medium-rare, then remove from the grill and let it rest.

Spray the cut side of the romaine with nonstick spray and grill it cut-side down until charred and crisp, about a few minutes.

Plate the grilled romaine and drizzle with the cheater Caesar dressing, topping with the reserved Parmesan cheese and sliced steak.
