Sirloin Steak with Tomatillo Avocado Dressing

This recipe is hot off the press! (Or off the skillet…) meaning, we just ate it for dinner! At first glance, this recipe looks more intensive but really isn’t, especially for what you get in return. We made our steaks on the stovetop just as the original Kraft recipe called for. In hindsight, we’ve decided grilling is the best way to enjoy a steak. The avocado dressing, however, was a home run!
