How to Make Avocado Steak

  1. Preheat your outdoor grill to high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the rice: In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add 1/2 cup of long-grain rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.
  3. Prepare the refried beans: In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of refried beans and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through (about 5 minutes).
  4. Prepare the grilled onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 large onion, thinly sliced, and sauté until browned and tender (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Prepare the steak: Season 2 (8-ounce) steaks generously with salt and pepper. Grill steaks for 7-10 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (medium). Adjust grilling time depending on steak thickness and desired doneness.
  6. Assemble the dish: Spread a layer of refried beans on each steak. Top with the grilled onions and 1/2 of a ripe avocado, sliced.
  7. Serve immediately over the prepared rice. Garnish with extra avocado slices and a sprinkle of cilantro (optional).
