Ingredients
  

For the steak and onions

  • 1 flank steak or skirt steak 16 to 20 ounces
  • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds lightly crushed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

For the dressing

  • ¾ cup Whole30-compatible mayonnaise
  • Grated zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 2 teaspoons Whole30-compatible hot sauce
  • 8 cups chopped butterhead or iceberg lettuce
  • 2 avocados halved, pitted, peeled, and diced
  • Chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions
 

  • PREHEAT a grill to medium-high heat (375°F) or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • GRILL THE STEAK AND ONIONS: Season the steak with the cumin seeds, salt, and pepper. Cut the onion into ½-inch-thick slices. Drizzle the steak and onions with the olive oil.
  • GRILL the steak and onion slices over direct heat, turning once, until the onion is lightly charred, 5 to 6 minutes, and the steak is cooked to desired doneness, 15 to 20 minutes for medium (160°F). Remove the steak and onion and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • MAKE THE DRESSING: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime zest and juice, and hot sauce.
  • THINLY slice the steak against the grain and coarsely chop the onions. Place the lettuce in a serving bowl and top with the steak and onions. Drizzle the dressing over the salad. Top with the avocado and cilantro.
