  3. Remove to small bowl and fold in fresh, chopped herbs. Taste and adjust seasonings and add additional lemon juice if desired. Set aside.

Add steaks and sear approximately three minutes per side, depending on thickness of steak, until nicely crusted. Remove steaks from pan and set aside for 15 minutes to rest. Serve with herbed avocado and roasted vegetables of choice.

*Herbed avocado is also delicious served with other meats, chicken, and seafood or used as a spicy substitute for mayonnaise.
