Ingredients

  • Steak
  • 3 large cloves of garlic halved
  • 1 can usually 7 ounces of chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
  • 3 TBS Molasses
  • 3 TBS Honey
  • 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
  • Avocado Cream Sauce
  • 1 ½ ripe avocados peeled & seeded
  • 3 oz plain Greek yogurt I use Chobani
  • 3 oz sour cream
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • A small bunch of cilantro stems removed about 2 TBS worth
  • ½ TBS a jalapeno pepper minced (more or less depending on your heat preference, I myself use ½ a jalapeno and include some of the seeds for extra heat!)
  • Dash of cumin
  • 1 TBS lime juice
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Season your steak with salt & pepper.
  • Pulse your garlic in your food processor until chopped, add the chiles and pulse until they are pureed, add in the molasses, honey and barbecue sauce and pulse until combined.
  • Pour over steak and rub it in evenly and allow it to sit for 30 minutes to 3 hours (covered in the fridge).
  • Bring steak to room almost room temp (20-30 minutes on your counter)
  • To Make Avocado Cream Sauce
  • Throw all ingredients into your food processor (or blender) and pulse until smooth. Adjust seasoning to your liking, then scrape into a bowl. Cover very tightly with plastic wrap (you want the wrap to touch the top of the mixture) and chill for 20-30 minutes.
  • Grill steak on high heat until done to your liking. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes, tented with foil. Slice, top with avocado cream and some parsley or cilantro and enjoy!
  • Leftover Avocado Cream sauce makes for a great dip (I make this as a dip too and spice it up with Cayenne pepper)
