SERVINGS: 2

COOK TIME: 20 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 1 boneless top sirloin steak (about 1/2 lb), cut 1" thick
- 6 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
- 1 large navel orange
- 1 large California Avocado
- 2 pieces of naan bread (about 3 oz. each)
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
- Rub both sides of the beef steak with one teaspoon olive oil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Cut the bottom and top off the orange. Remove the remaining skin from the orange; cut it into segments; reserve. Cut the avocado in half; remove the pit, but do not peel. Squeeze juice from the orange’s two cut ends over the avocado’s cut sides, then brush with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Sprinkle with the remaining salt.
- Brush both sides of the naan bread with two teaspoons of olive oil.
- Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 11 to 15 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 13 to 16 minutes) for medium-rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally. During the last 2 to 3 minutes of grilling, place avocado, cut side down, and naan bread on the grill; turn bread once.
- Meanwhile, toss the salad greens with the remaining olive oil and pepper. Add orange segments to the salad. Remove the skin from the grilled avocado. Cut the avocado into slices; add to the salad and toss gently. Carve the steak into thin slices; place on top of the salad. Cut the naan into wedges; arrange them around the salad.

National Beef Month Spotlight: Recipes
The Round Primal is home to lean, inexpensive cuts from the rump and hind legs. The muscles in this area are used for movement, so the beef is leaner and less tender. These cuts are often sold as roasts, steaks for marinating, or even Ground Beef.
Lean Ground Beef, fresh parsley, and cumin are formed into meatballs and served in flatbreads for a light and fresh summer main dish.
In this go-to summer grilling recipe, Beef Back Ribs are marinated in an Asian-inspired marinade and then grilled to perfection.
The key to success when cooking ribs is the low temperature and several hours of cooking time. However, this beef primal cut also contains popular tender, juicy cuts of meat like Ribeye Roast and Ribeye Steaks.
