Ingredients:
1 1/4 pounds beef eye round roast (in 1 piece) |
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
1 tablespoon mexican-style chili powder |
kosher salt |
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved |
7 to 8 canned hearts of palm, thickly sliced |
2 tablespoons lime juice, plus lime wedges for garnish |
freshly ground pepper |
1 ripe hass avocado |
1/3 cup fresh cilantro |
1 large clove garlic |
flour tortillas, warmed, for serving (optional) |
Directions:
1. Slice the roast crosswise into 3 even steaks. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the steaks all over with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with the chili powder and add salt to taste. Cook until a thermometer inserted into the side registers 125 degrees for medium-rare, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, toss the tomatoes and hearts of palm in a bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
3. Halve and pit the avocado; scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor. Add the cilantro, garlic, the remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1/2 cup water; puree. Season with salt.
4. Thinly slice the steaks. Serve with the avocado sauce, tomato salad and tortillas for wrapping, if desired. Garnish with lime wedges.
