Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including olive oil, romaine lettuce, steak seasoning, and lemon. Cut the romaine lettuce head in half lengthwise for grilling.
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
- Season Romaine: Drizzle olive oil over the cut sides of the romaine halves and sprinkle evenly with steak seasoning.

- Finish and Serve: Remove from grill and immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Serve warm to enjoy the smoky flavors.
Notes
- Use a grill brush or oil-soaked paper towel to properly oil the grill grate and prevent sticking.
- Steak seasoning can be substituted with a mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika if unavailable.
- For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of steak seasoning.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats or as a unique side salad alternative.
- Keep a close eye while grilling as lettuce can quickly burn if left too long.
