Grilled Steak Salad with Tomatoes & Avocado image

My family loves a good steak dinner, but with busy schedules, I'm often thinking about ways to put new and simple twists on things. This salad is flavored with the freshness of lemon and cilantro and is one of my husband's favorite weeknight dishes. -Lyndsay Wells, Ladysmith, British Columbia
