Ingredients

• 2 ribeye steaks (or your preferred cut)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced
• 1 lime, juiced
• Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)

Timing

Making Steak with Avocado takes about 10 minutes for preparation and 15 minutes for cooking.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Steaks

1. Season Steaks: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika (if using).

Step 2: Cook the Steaks

1. Heat Skillet: Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat until hot.
2. Cook Steaks: Add the seasoned steaks to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.
3. Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the steaks and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (130°F/54°C for medium-rare).
4. Rest Steaks: Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 3: Prepare the Avocado

1. Slice Avocado: While the steaks are resting, slice the avocado and toss it with lime juice to prevent browning. Season with a pinch of salt.

Step 4: Serve

1. Plate the Dish: Slice the rested steaks and arrange them on plates. Top with avocado slices.
2. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired and serve immediately.
