Flat Iron Steak with greens and avocado ... We should probably make it more


Flat Iron Steak is an underrated cut in my book ... lean like a sirloin steak, albeit a bit thinner, it presents a great opportunity to broil the steak and cook it to a great temperature.  Trying to keep our red meat consumption down, I went with a 2/3 pound cut of flat iron for tonight's dinner.  While the steak was the main protein tonight I'm going to feature the other parts of this dinner because, frankly, avocado and collard greens are the true underused parts of home dinners these days.

BBQ Greens
1 Bunch collard greens
1/2 Red Onion
1 TBSP white wine vinegar
1 TBSP bbq sauce
1 tsp Garlic Pepper
1 tsp Olive Oil

Half red onion, remove end and skin ... cut in to thin slices.  Strip central stem out of collard greens, loosley chop leaves.  Heat olive oil in sauté pan over medium heat, add red onion and cook for 1 minute ... agitate frequently.  Add collard greens, vinegar & garlic pepper ... cook down.  Cook until wilted, remove from heat, add bbq sauce, stir and serve.

Avocado topping
1 avocado
1 lime
1 tsp garlic pepper

I know you were hoping for some life changing recipe here, but it's pretty simple ... Chop the avocado, put in a bowl, squeeze the lime into it, add the garlic pepper ... stir and that's it.
