Step-by-Step Cooking Guide

Brush steaks with olive oil and season generously. Grill each side until seared and juicy — about 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare.

Cook to your preference — soft-boiled for a runny yolk or hard-boiled for a firmer texture. Slice them neatly for plating.
3. Prepare the Avocado
Mash or slice your avocados with lemon or lime juice to keep them fresh and vibrant. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for balance.
4. Assemble Your Power Plate
Arrange grilled steak, sliced eggs, and avocado together. Sprinkle with parsley, chili flakes, or drizzle with hot sauce for an extra kick.
