- 2 tsp (10 g) kosher salt
- 1 tsp (2 g) freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil, divided
- 2 ripe avocados, halved and diced
- 1 cup (150 g) diced tomato

Instructions

1. Brush steaks with 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil and season evenly with kosher salt and black pepper; let rest at room temperature 20–30 minutes.
2. Preheat grill to high heat and oil grates; place steaks on grill and cook 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust to thickness and preference).
