cumin-rubbed steaks with avocado salsa verde

Ingredients

  • 2 beef shoulder center steaks (Ranch Steaks), cut 1 inch thick (about 8 ounces each)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 3/4 cup prepared tomatillo salsa
  • 1 small avocado, diced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Press cumin evenly onto beef steaks. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Place steaks in skillet; cook 12 to 15 minutes for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally.

Meanwhile combine salsa, avocado and cilantro in small bowl.

Carve steaks into slices; season with salt, as desired. Serve with salsa.


Cook's Tip: Two beef top loin (strip) steaks, cut 1 inch thick, may be substituted for shoulder center steaks. Cook 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
