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 cut the romaine lettuce head in half lengthwise to create even halves for grilling.
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
- Season Romaine: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the cut sides of the romaine halves and sprinkle the steak seasoning on top for flavor.
- Grill Lettuce: Place the romaine cut side down on the preheated grill and cook for about 5 minutes or until the lettuce is slightly wilted and has attractive grill marks.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the grilled romaine from the grill and drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice over the top before serving to add a bright, tangy finish.
Notes
- This grilled romaine makes a delicious smoky alternative to raw lettuce for salads or side dishes.
- Use any preferred seasoning if steak seasoning is unavailable, such as garlic powder or smoked paprika.
- Ensure the grill is well oiled to prevent the lettuce from sticking and tearing.
- Adjust lemon juice to taste for more or less acidity.
