This is a kid-friendly recipe for Caesar salad that the whole family will enjoy – easy to make and flavourful! If you don’t feel like making the Caesar dressing, you can substitute 1 cup (250 mL) of your favourite store-bought light Caesar dressing.

¼ cup (50 mL) barbecue sauce
2 tbsp (30 mL) balsamic vinegar
1 lb (500 g) Beef Strip Loin Grilling Steak,
about 3/4 inch(2 cm) thick
¼ cup (50 mL) vegetable oil
¼ cup (50 mL) light mayonnaise
⅓ cup (75 mL) grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp (15 mL) EACH lemon juice and Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp (5 mL) Worcestershire sauce
  Salt and pepper
1 head romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
(about 10 cups /2.5 L)
  1. Combine barbecue sauce and balsamic vinegar in shallow bowl. Add steak, turning to coat. Marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile whisk together oil, mayonnaise, 2 tbsp (30 mL) Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste in large bowl.
  3. Pat steaks dry with paper towel; season as desired with salt and pepper. Discard marinade. Grill or pan-fry using medium-high heat, turning once, until medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board and tent with foil; let stand for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, toss lettuce with dressing and remaining Parmesan; divide among 6 plates.
