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 and preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
- Season Romaine: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the cut sides of the romaine halves. Sprinkle the steak seasoning generously on top.
- Grill Romaine: Place the romaine halves cut side down onto the preheated grill. Cook for about 5 minutes until the lettuce is slightly wilted and has nice char marks.
- Add Lemon Juice: Remove the grilled romaine from the grill and drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice over the top for a bright, tangy finish.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately as a smoky and refreshing side or appetizer.
Notes
- Use a high-quality steak seasoning or make your own with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika for extra flavor.
- Make sure the grill is properly oiled and hot to avoid sticking and to get good char marks.
- You can add grated Parmesan or a sprinkle of chili flakes for extra taste variations.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can achieve similar results on a grill pan over medium heat on the stovetop.
