Carla’s Timeless Dinner Duo: Steaks and Caesar Salad

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and offers a cheesy flavor.

Caesar dressing

🥗Healthier: yogurt-based dressing

💰Cheaper: homemade vinaigrette

Yogurt-based dressing reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

steak

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: pork tenderloin

Chicken breast is lower in fat, while pork tenderloin is more affordable.

croutons

🥗Healthier: toasted whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: store-bought croutons

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

Prepare 2 lbs of New York strip steak, ensuring it's about 3/4 inch thick.

In a bowl, combine 2 anchovies and grate garlic into the mixture.

Add 3 teaspoons of water to the bowl to prevent the dressing from being too thick.

Blend the anchovies, garlic, and water together using a hand blender.

Slowly add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil and a little olive oil while blending until combined.

Serve the Caesar salad alongside the steak, without traditional lemon juice or croutons.
