- 1 tablespoon steak seasoning
- 1 lemon, juiced
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Cut the romaine lettuce head in half lengthwise and set aside.
- Preheat Grill: Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
- Season Lettuce: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the cut sides of the romaine halves. Sprinkle the steak seasoning evenly on top.

Notes
- Use a high-quality steak seasoning or your favorite grill spice mix for best flavor.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop.
- For a smoky flavor, avoid moving the lettuce while grilling to allow proper charring.
- Serve as a side dish or with grilled meats for a healthy balance.
- Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your taste preference for brightness.
