Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Pat the T-bone steaks dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.
Generously rub the spice mixture onto both sides of the T-bone steaks, pressing it into the meat.
Grill the steaks for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130°F for medium-rare).
While the steaks are grilling, drizzle the lime juice over the prepared pico de gallo and sprinkle in the chopped fresh cilantro. Stir and set aside.
Once the steaks are done cooking, let them rest on a clean plate or cutting board for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
Serve the steaks topped with a generous portion of pico de gallo, and arrange fresh avocado slices on the side.
Pair with warm tortillas, rice, or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
