Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp of oil.
Slice avocados into thin strips and dice tomato and onion.
Season flat iron steaks with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and chili powder.
Place steaks flat on the skillet. Sear for 5 minutes or until light brown crust forms, flip and do the same to the other side.
Remove steaks from the skillet and place onto a cutting board. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes and then slice into thin strips.
