Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Grill the beef hot dogs for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and have a nice char.

While the hot dogs cook, prep the toppings: finely chop the white onion, slice the cherry tomatoes in half, and set aside the pickle spears and sport peppers.
Step 4
Lay two large romaine lettuce leaves flat on a plate, overlapping slightly to create a sturdy 'bun' for each hot dog.
Step 5
Place one grilled hot dog in the center of each lettuce wrap.
Step 6
Top each hot dog with 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard, a few chopped onions, and 2 halved cherry tomatoes.
Step 7
Add one dill pickle spear and a sport pepper (if desired) alongside the hot dog.
Step 8
Sprinkle a small pinch of celery salt over each hot dog for a classic Chicago-style flavor.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and serve immediately. Enjoy your low-carb Chicago-style hot dogs!
