O'Charley'S Black And Blue Caesar Salad Recipe

• 1 ounce shredded parmesan cheese, divided (about 1/4 cup)
• 1 1/4 cups large croutons, divided
• 3 1/2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
• 1/4 cup caesar salad dressing
• 3 slices roma tomatoes
• 1 (6 ounce) sirloin steaks
• 2 tablespoons margarine, melted
• 1 -2 tablespoon cajun seasoning

• 1/4 cup cooked diced bacon, heated

1. In a large bowl, sprinkle about half the Parmesan and half the croutons over romaine; add dressing and toss well.
2. Place in a chilled pasta bowl or large soup plate; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan, creating a "snowcap" effect.
3. Add tomato slices on one side; refrigerate.
4. In a very well-ventilated area or outdoors, heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
5. Brush one side of sirloin with melted margarine; sprinkle to taste with Cajun seasoning.
6. Place seasoned-side down in skillet. (Caution: There might be a slight flame when meat is placed in skillet.)
7. While first side is cooking, brush second side with melted margarine and sprinkle with additional seasoning.
8. Cook about 2 minutes; turn and cook 2 to 3 minutes more, or to desired degree of doneness.
9. Cut into 1/2-inch slices.
10. Fan sliced steak over salad; top with blue cheese, bacon and remaining croutons.
