    • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
    • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/2 cup grapeseed oil
    • 1/2 cup olive oil
    • lemon juice
    • 1 cup garlic aioli
    • 4 tablespoons anchovy paste
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
    • 1/2 cup lemon juice
    • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
    • black pepper
    • 1 head romaine or escarole, Tuscan kale, or Napa cabbage, quartered
    • 1 bunch spring onions

    • 1/2 pound oyster or king oyster mushrooms

    Preparation

    1

    1.  To prepare aioli, place yolks, garlic, and salt into food processor or blender. Pulse well.

    2.  With processor on, slowly add oils until fully incorporated. Aioli should be thick like mayonnaise. Season with lemon juice.

    3.  To prepare dressing, whisk all ingredients to combine.

    4.  To prepare salad, brush vegetables with oil and season liberally. Mushrooms will absorb oil and may require a bit more.

    5.  On grill or in grill pan, grill vegetables until tender and charred.

    6.  Cut vegetables into 2-inch pieces and serve with grilled romaine halves and dressing. Finish with additional Parmesan, lemon, and steak, if desired.
