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