Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 head romaine lettuce, cut in half lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon steak seasoning
- 1 lemon, juiced
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients needed including olive oil, romaine lettuce cut in half lengthwise, steak seasoning, and lemon juice.
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
- Season Romaine: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the cut sides of the romaine halves, then sprinkle the steak seasoning on top to add flavor.
- Grill Lettuce: Place the romaine halves cut side-down on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the lettuce is slightly wilted and has nice grill char marks.
- Serve: Remove the grilled romaine from the grill and drizzle with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Serve immediately and enjoy the smoky flavors.
Notes
- You can substitute the steak seasoning with any preferred spice blend or simple salt and pepper.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan on stovetop as an alternative method.
- The lemon juice adds a fresh, tangy contrast to the smoky flavor, so don’t skip it.
- Grilled romaine pairs well with grilled meats, seafood, or as a refreshing side to many main courses.
- For a vegan and low-fat option, use minimal olive oil and a salt-based seasoning blend.
