Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ribeye steak
- 2 tablespoons ancho chili powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 1 large avocado
- 1 slice lime
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine ancho chili powder, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.
Place the ribeye steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the steaks are well-coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
Preheat a grill or a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and shake off any excess moisture.
Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach the desired doneness. Internal temperature should read 130°F for medium-rare.
Transfer the steaks to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the steak is resting, prepare the avocado topping: remove the pit from the avocado, scoop out the flesh, and mash it in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime juice.
To serve, top the steaks with the mashed avocado and garnish with fresh cilantro and a lime slice.
