Prepare the Steak

Coat the steak with the seasonings and let sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until it reaches 140°F (60°C) for medium doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
