Grilled Steak with Avocado Sauce

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

Grilled Steak with Avocado Sauce

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

Grilled Steak with Avocado Sauce

Combine all ingredients in a processor and blend until smooth. Taste and add more sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, or lime juice if needed.

  1. 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.
