anchovy fillets

🥗Healthier: capers

💰Cheaper: canned sardines

Capers provide a similar briny flavor, while sardines are a cost-effective alternative.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories, while pecorino is often less expensive.

Start by preparing the homemade Caesar salad dressing.

Chop 3-4 garlic cloves and add them to a mixing bowl.

Add anchovy fillets to the bowl, explaining that they will not be tasted if done properly.

Add 3 pasteurized egg yolks to the bowl, ensuring they are safe to eat without cooking.

Add about 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard to the mixture.

Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon, using a method to get all the juice out.

Pour in 4 tablespoons of red wine vinegar.

Add 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, which is half the amount of vinegar.

Mix in 1/3 cup of grated parmesan cheese.

Slowly drizzle in 2/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil while mixing to emulsify the dressing.

Season with black pepper to taste.

Blend the dressing using a food processor or blender, or mix by hand for a more traditional approach.

Prepare the salad by mixing the dressing with fresh romaine lettuce in a large bowl.

Grill the New York strip steaks to medium-rare, then slice them on a diagonal.

Place the sliced steak on top of the romaine lettuce salad.

Top the salad with croutons and additional parmesan cheese if desired.
