BLT WITH CAESAR MAYO

Steps:

• In a large frying pan over medium heat, cook bacon, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp but not brittle, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, combine mayonnaise, parmesan, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, anchovy, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire. Whirl until smooth. Scrape into a small bowl.
• Spread Caesar mayo on bread slices. Top half with tomato and sprinkle with sea salt. Add bacon, lettuce, and remaining bread slices. Serve with extra mayo.

CHARRED STEAK BLT CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator to come to room temperature.
• Lay the strips of bacon next to one another in a large nonstick pan. Place the pan over medium heat and cook the bacon, turning occasionally, until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
• Put the anchovies, garlic, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce in the bowl of a mini food processor. Pulse until the ingredients are roughly chopped and begin to come together. Scrape the contents into a small bowl and combine with the mayonnaise. If the dressing seems thick, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until smooth and pourable.
• Sprinkle both sides of the steaks liberally with salt and pepper. Place on the preheated grill and cook until charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until an instant-read thermometer reads 135 degrees F for medium-rare, another 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the steaks to a cutting board to rest.
• Meanwhile, trim the brown stem ends of the romaine hearts, leaving the bunch intact. Trim 1 inch off the top of the hearts and discard. Slice the hearts in half lengthwise. Lightly coat each half with olive oil. Place on the grill pan and char each side, about 1 minute. Remove to a serving platter.
• Drizzle with some of the dressing and top with the cherry tomatoes. Crumble the bacon over top. Shave Parmesan on top of the salad with a vegetable peeler and finish with coarsely cracked black pepper.
• Thinly slice the steaks about 1/4-inch thick and fan out next to the salad. Serve with extra dressing on the side.
