Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Steak: Pat the steak tips dry with paper towels. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add a spritz of cooking spray, and sear the steak for 4-6 minutes until nicely browned. Remove and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  2. Chop Vegetables: Finely dice the peppers and red onion, then mix gently in a bowl to keep them fresh for layering.
  3. Make Guacamole: Mash avocados in a bowl, then fold in diced onion, lime juice, cilantro, and chili lime seasoning. Mix until well combined.
  4. Assemble Salad: Layer butter lettuce on serving plates, add chopped peppers and onion, then top with sliced steak and dollops of guacamole.
  5. Prepare Dressing: Whisk together yogurt, sriracha, orange zest, truffle salt, elote seasoning, orange juice, and mayonnaise until smooth.
  6. Serve: Drizzle dressing over the salad and serve immediately for a refreshing experience.
