Ingredients:
For the Steak:
1 lb ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
Juice of ½ lime or lemon
For the Stack:
2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
2 ripe avocados, sliced
½ red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
Fresh basil or arugula leaves (optional for garnish)
Balsamic glaze or reduction (for drizzling)
Instructions:
1. Marinate the Steak (Optional but Recommended):
Rub steak with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and lime juice. Let it sit for 20–30 minutes at room temp or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
2. Grill the Steak:
Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook steak 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare (or to your preferred doneness).
Let rest for 5–10 minutes, then thinly slice against the grain.
3. Assemble the Stack:
On each plate, layer slices of tomato, avocado, and grilled steak slices—repeat 2–3 layers for a stack. Add onion and herbs if using.
4. Finish & Serve:
Drizzle with balsamic glaze, a sprinkle of salt, and cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.
