Instructions
 

Steak & Marinade

  • In a Blender add all of the marinade ingredients. Blend until smooth
  • Place the steak in a large ribbed dish. Pour the marinade over the steak. Using your hands (get in there!) Work the marinade around to assure it's covering all of the steak. Cover & place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. 8-12 hours is best.
  • To Grill on the Stove Top: Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Add a tbps of avo oil & lower the heat to medium. Add the steak and cook for 5 minutes per side for medium style steak. Remove & let rest
  • To Grill on a charcoal or gas grill: Oil the grill grates. Grill steak for 3-5 minutes for medium style steak. Let rest at least 5 minutes before serving

Salad Instructions

  • Prepare the dressing (see Notes)
  • If you cooked your steak on the stove: Wipe out the skillet. Let's reuse that pan to saute your veggies. (If not, grab a clean skillet for this step.) Heat 2 tbsp Avo Oil over medium heat. Add your veggies and let them begin to saute.
    Season with salt, as this helps the vegetables sweat and soften. Let the vegetables saute until you reach desired softness. I prefer to cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Add additional oil if needed.
  • Now construct your salad. Add all of the salad ingredients to a bowl of greens & serve.

Notes

Find the Dressing recipe here. I would also recommend TesseMaes Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette or any southwest style dressing. 
Prep Notes: Make the Marinade and the dressing in advance. The Dressing is good in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
