How to Make Avocado Steak
- Preheat your outdoor grill to high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve immediately over the prepared rice. Garnish with extra avocado slices and a sprinkle of cilantro (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
