Fillet Steak with Frites and Caesar Salad. A Recip...

Posted by Luna in Bubbling Cauldron on February 14, 2010 | 2 Comments

Last night my husband surprised me with a pre-Valentines romantic meal! He grilled 2 fillet steaks and served them with frites and a Caesar salad. It was wonderful and the Caesar salad made it extra special as he used my Grandfather’s recipe for Caesar dressing – which simply is the best Caesar dressing I have ever tasted.

Here is my Grandfather’s recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 2 garlic cloves (minced).
  • 1 anchovy fillet (or 1 Tbsp of anchovy paste).
  • 1 Tbsp of olive oil.
  • 2 egg yolks slightly beaten.
  • 3 Tbsp of “Maille a L’Ancienne” mustard. This is a type of Dijon mustard with seeds and is A VERY IMPORTANT INGREDIENT.
  • Juice of ¼ lemon.
  • ½ cup of olive oil (I do use slightly less)
  • 1 dash of Worcestershire sauce.
  • 2 dashes of Tabasco.
  • 3 Tbsp of Parmesan cheese.

Method:

Add all the ingredients together in the order they appear in this ingredients list. Combine each ingredient well before adding the next one. This will make the basic dressing.

Use 1 large head of Romaine lettuce (this should make enough for 4 servings).

Toss the Romaine with the dressing.

Add another ½ cup of Parmesan cheese and toss again till well mixed.

Just before serving you can add crushed bacon and/or croutons. Toss again just before serving and enjoy!

Tonight it’s MY turn to make the romantic meal. Wish me luck.
