Ingredients
UnitsScale
1lb flank or sirloin steak
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 ripe tomatoes, thickly sliced
2 ripe avocados, sliced
1 tbsp lemon juice
Fresh basil or parsley, chopped
Balsamic glaze or reduction (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rub steak with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Grill for 4–5 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Thinly slice the steak across the grain.
Slice avocados and tomatoes. Toss avocado slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
On each plate or serving platter, layer tomato, avocado, and steak slices to form stacks.
Drizzle with olive oil or balsamic glaze and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
Notes
Let steak rest before slicing to retain juiciness.
Use a serrated knife for neat tomato slices.
Chill plates to contrast with warm steak for an elegant touch.
Prep ingredients in advance but assemble just before serving for best presentation.
Basil or parsley adds freshness and color—don’t skip the garnish.
