Preparation

Step 1

Directions

1. For Avocado Dipping sauce, cut about 3 inches from cucumber and coarsely chop (reserve remaining for Cucumber salad, recipe below). Place in food processor or blender with other sauce ingredients. Puree until smooth. Pour into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.

2. In small bowl mix rub ingredients; set aside. Cut steak into foot-long pieces, if needed, to make them easier to handle on the grill. Lightly brush steaks on all sides with olive oil; season evenly with rub. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

3. Prepare grill for direct cooking over high heat (about 500 degrees F). (See "direct grilling," below). Grill steaks over direct high heat, with lid closed as much as possible, 4 to 6 minutes for medium-rare, turning once or twice. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice across the grain in 1/2-inch-thick slices. Serve warm with Avocado Dipping Sauce and Cucumber Salad. Makes 6 servings.

Cucumber Salad:In bowl combine the remaining cucumber, sliced; 1 miniature yellow sweet pepper, sliced; 1 small shallot, sliced; 1/4 cup chopped red pepper; 2 Tbsp. lime juice; 1 Tbsp. olive oil; 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill; and salt and pepper.

Direct Grilling:For this method, the food is placed on the grill rack directly over the heat source. Direct grilling is best for searing and cooking small, tender cuts that cook in 30 minutes or less, such as steaks, burgers, or boneless chicken.
