Do you have a favorite steak recipe? This is one of mine thanks to the great steak seasoning.
Unless you are a vegetarian, most everyone I know likes some sort of steak. I am not a huge meat eater but steak recipes do tend to tempt me quite a bit. Maybe it is because I love garlic so much and steak seasoning is almost always loaded with garlic. Or maybe it is because of all the yummy sauces you can pair with steak. (I am always all about the sauces; rather we are talking about dressing for quinoa salad or steak recipes steak! Heck, I can dip tofu in a great sauce and be happy.)
This time of year, I try to eat as many avocados as I can. They are usually on sale and it is a great way to get healthy fat. I make sure I eat an avocado at least once a week. This week I even made a quinoa recipe with avocado…yum! (I will be sure to share that with you soon.)
This steak recipe is served with an avocado cream sauce. It doesn’t use a traditional steak marinade, rather just a dry rub. If you want to marinade your steak, you can combine the steak seasoning ingredients with a few tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and marinade it for four hours. (If you are planning ahead you could even marinade over night!)

By the way, if you haven’t already, make sure you try out one of my favorite flank steak recipes. It also has a great sauce and is served with grilled onions and a pita. It reminds me of a gyro sandwich only it is much lower in fat!
If you DO have favorite steak recipes, I would love to hear from you. And, I am always looking for new ways of cooking quinoa, so be sure to drop me a line if you have any quinoa recipes that you would like to share.
