We like to prepare these steaks in the broiler throughout the winter months, but you can also prepare them any time on an outdoor grill or in a grill pan.

Ingredients
Romaine Heart Salad with Creamy Chili Dressing
Preparation
Step 1
Heat the broiler with the rack 4 inches from the heat. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, coriander, sugar, oregano, 1Ā 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat the steaks evenly on both sides with the oil, then the spice mixture, patting to help the mixture adhere.
Step 2
Place the steaks on a rimmed baking sheet or broiler pan. Broil the steaks, without turning, until medium-rare, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness. Transfer the steaks to a large platter and cover with aluminum foil; let rest for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Remove foil and divide steaks among 4 serving plates. Drizzle with any accumulated juices from the platter.
Romaine Heart Salad with Creamy Chili Dressing
Step 4
In a medium bowl, place the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and chili powder; season with salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Remove the dark outer leaves from each head of romaine, leaving the heart; place leaves in a plastic bag lined with a paper towel and refrigerate for another use. Slice the hearts in half lengthwise. Place one half on each plate; top with the dressing. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve.
