• 1/4 cup prepared non-creamy Caesar dressing

• 1 package (10 ounces) torn romaine lettuce hearts

Instructions

Place beef steaks and 1/2 cup dressing in food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat. Marinate in refrigerator 30 to 60 minutes.

Place potatoes in microwave-safe dish with 1/4 cup water. Cover; microwave on HIGH 7 to 10 minutes or until tender, stirring once. Meanwhile grate 1/2 tsp. lemon peel and squeeze juice from lemon. Cool potatoes slightly; cut lengthwise into quarters. Combine potatoes, lemon juice and peel in medium bowl. Add 1/4 cup dressing, salt and pepper; toss.

Remove steaks and discard marinade. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Place steaks in skillet; cook top blade steaks 10 to 12 minutes (chuck eye steaks 9 to 11 minutes) for medium rare to medium doneness, turning once. Remove from skillet; let rest 5 minutes. Remove tough connective tissue from center of top blade steaks; carve steaks into 1/4-inch thick slices. Season with salt and pepper.

Combine lettuce and 1/4 cup dressing in large bowl; toss. Place lettuce on platter; top with beef and potatoes. Sprinkle with cheese. Garnish with lemon.
