directions

For the Steak: Stir together tequila, lime rind and next 8 ingredients in a large bowl until blended. Trim fat from steaks; add steaks to marinade, turning to coat. Cover and chill 8 hours, turning occasionally or, if desired, let stand at room temperature up to 2 hours.
Remove steaks from marinade. Bring marinade to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat and boil 2 minutes.
Heat a grill pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Grill steaks 5 to 6 minutes on each side or to desired degree of doneness, basting occasionally with marinade.
Remove steaks from grill pan, and place on a serving plate. Dollop each with Guacamole Butter. Spoon Fiesta Black Bean Salsa around steaks, and serve immediately with remaining Guacamole Butter.
For the Guacamole Butter: Peel and coarsely chop small avocado, discarding pit.
Process avocado, chopped green onions and remaining ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides. Place mixture in a bowl; cover and chill until ready to serve.
For the Fiesta Black Bean Salsa: Stir together all ingredients in a large bowl. Cover and let stand at room temperature until ready to serve.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
