Grilled Steak with Avocado Sauce

I was searching the web for avocado recipes, and when I saw this easy grilled steak with avocado sauce recipe on Life’s Ambrosia, I knew I had to make it. I adapted it 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. This grilled steak with avocado sauce was a HUGE hit with all of us, especially my kids, and it paired nicely with spicy pinto beans, a Mexican wedge salad, and cilantro and lime rice.

Grilled Steak with Avocado Sauce

Avocado Sauce:

Season the steaks by sprinkling each side with the seasonings to taste.  Side Note: I didn’t measure seasonings; I sprinkled each spice on both sides of the steaks.

Preheat the grill to medium heat, or if 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, using a meat thermometer.

Remove the steaks from the grill and set them aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Once the steak has rested, slice and serve with the avocado sauce. Enjoy.
