Make
- If making steak on grill: Heat grill to 500F / 260C degrees. Clean grates and brush with some oil. Season steak on both sides with some salt and pepper. Place steak over direct heat. Sear steak for ~4 minutes on each side with the cover closed. Move steak to indirect heat and cook until it reaches desired level of doneness. Medium-rare: 130F / 54C degrees (~3 minutes); Medium: 140F / 60C degrees (~6 minutes); Well-done: 160F / 71C degrees (~10 minutes).
- If making steak on stovetop: Heat grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with some cooking oil. Season steak on both sides with some salt and pepper. Place steak onto hot pan. Sear steak for ~4 minutes on each side. Lower heat to medium, cover with foil, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes for medium-rare; another 4 to 7 minutes for medium; 8 to 10 minutes for well-done.
- Let steak rest, covered, while preparing salad.
- While steak rests, whisk together oil, vinegar, lemon juice and honey. Toss with mixed greens, avocados, tomatoes and almonds. Season with some salt and pepper.
- Slice steak and top each portion with compound butter. Serve with salad on the side. Enjoy!
