Grilled Steak with Avocado Sauce
I was searching the web for avocado recipes and when I saw this recipe on Life’s Ambrosia, I knew I had to make it. I adapted it a bit by using the steaks I had on hand, which happened to be a rib eye and a couple of top sirloin. I also used extra seasonings on the steaks to suit my family’s tastes. It was a HUGE hit with all of us, especially my kids. My daughter couldn’t get enough steak or sauce! I made my husband a burrito for lunch the next day using the leftovers and he said they were awesome. This recipe will be making its way back to our table again soon.
Note: I didn’t measure seasonings, I simply sprinkled each spice on both sides of the steaks.
Grilled Steak with Avocado Sauce:
Ingredients:
- Steaks of your choice (I used rib eye and top sirloin)
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- Chili powder, to taste
- Onion powder, to taste
- Paprika, to taste
- Coriander, to taste
- Cumin, to taste
- Oregano, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
Sprinkle each side of the steaks with the seasonings, to taste. Preheat the grill to medium heat; or if you are using a grill pan, heat it to medium-high heat.
Cook steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the desired degree of doneness. Remove the steaks from the grill and set them aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Avocado Sauce:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- Juice from 1 large lime
Once the steak has rested, slice and serve with the avocado sauce. Enjoy.

We made this tonight…loved it!!
I just made this last night and had to blog about it! It was so good! The seasonings for the steak were perfect as was the sauce, though I had to alter mine since I used my cilantro for a cilantro pesto, but was able to use that with this sauce. So good, all I needed was a Mai Tai and I would have felt like I was on vacation! 🙂
Can’t wait to try more of your recipes! Thank you for sharing this one.
