Ingredients

• 2 pieces T-bone steaks
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup Prepared pico de gallo
• 1 avocado Avocado slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pat the T-bone steaks dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides with olive oil.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Generously rub the spice mixture onto both sides of the T-bone steaks, pressing it into the meat.

Step 5

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).

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve the steaks topped with a generous portion of pico de gallo, and arrange fresh avocado slices on the side.

Step 9

Pair with warm tortillas, rice, or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
