Romaine is a great companion for a grilled medium rare steak, but don’t leave it on the grill too long, or the leaves may scorch. —Stuart Pritchard, Commerce, Texas

3/4 cup olive oil
2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
6 romaine hearts, halved lengthwise with cores intact
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk oil and vinegar. Generously brush over all surfaces of romaine. Grill romaine, uncovered, over medium-hot heat for 1-2 minutes or until slightly charred and wilted, turning once. Season with salt and pepper.

Delicious! Reduced the ingredients to two portions. Used balsamic vinegar dressing on my serving, but DH preferred regular vinegar dressing. Garnished with sliced onions and tomatoes. Yum!

Very good! There is another grilled romaine recipe on this site that is my absolute favorite but it is more involved. When I am short on time, this is my new go-to.
