Skirt Steak is very yummy. In an effort to kick off 2016 with a high vegetable intake, I’m regularly adding salads to my dinner. It’s one of the ways I’m participating in #JustOneThingJan. I love a good salad, so making this happen hasn’t been much of a challenge; what has really tested me, though, is coming up with new dressing ideas. A couple weeks in, I realized I hadn’t thought to make one of the classics: a Caesar. So, I found this Caesar Salad with Steak as inspiration for my next dinner. click here for halal steak.

Caesar Salad Protein
While this meal already had plenty of protein, I played around with the dressing to bump up the protein content, knowing I’d probably be having this salad again before the end of the month. I replaced the mayonnaise with 2% Greek yogurt, and no one could even tell the difference. I also swapped garlic powder for freshly minced garlic and doubled the amount of anchovy—both personal preferences that, of course, I would highly recommend.

I also traded skirt steak for the filet mignon, both so the meal would be more affordable and because I prefer the more robust flavor of the latter. This cut of meat cooks quickly on the stove top, so you can have my version on the table in just 15 minutes.
Cooked Steak, and The Caesar Salad
The customized Caesar was perfection. It felt so indulgent to enjoy a home-cooked steak, and the Caesar salad was better than any I can remember eating in a restaurant. If you like a lot of anchovy in your dressing, homemade is definitely the way to go. Plus, I felt great after dinner!
