Instructions

1. Step 1: Season steak slices with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp cumin. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until smoking.
2. Step 2: Add steak in a single layer without crowding, searing for 2-3 minutes per side until browned but still pink inside. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and minced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Step 4: Stir in diced mango, red bell pepper, and red onion, cooking for 4 minutes until vegetables soften but retain texture.
5. Step 5: Remove skillet from heat and stir in chopped cilantro and lime juice. Let sit for 2 minutes to meld flavors.
6. Step 6: Return steak to the skillet with all sauce, tossing gently to coat. Cook for 1 minute more, then serve topped with avocado slices.
