Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 pounds New York strip steak (about 3 [1"-thick] steaks)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
1 pineapple, peeled, cut into 1/2" rounds, center core removed, divided
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for grill
2 avocados

Steps:

Season steak with 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper. Let sit at room temperature at least 1 hour.
Meanwhile, purée 1 pineapple round, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 2 Tbsp. water in a blender until smooth. Add 3 Tbsp. oil and blend until smooth; set aside.
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat a grill pan over medium-high; oil grate or pan. Grill steaks and remaining pineapple rounds, turning occasionally, until pineapple is lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of steak registers 120°F, 8-10 minutes for medium-rare (pineapple may take longer to cook than steak). Transfer steak to a cutting board. Let sit at least 15 minutes, then thinly slice. Transfer pineapple to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
Cut avocados in half crosswise around pit, then carefully peel off skin with your hands. Slice each half crosswise into 1/2" rings.
Arrange sliced steak and avocado on platter with pineapple. Drizzle with pineapple dressing; season with salt and pepper.

MY FAVORITE AVOCADO SALAD

My Favorite Avocado Salad image

Tangy lime dressing is the perfect topper for this avocado salad. Toasted walnuts make for crunchy goodness, but try it with any kind of nut you like. -Ilia Kaku, North Richland Hills, Texas
