I saw this recipe in a recent Cooking Lightmagazine and thought it would make a perfect paleo meal. It's got good fat from the avocado and flank steak, and one of my favorite accompaniments: balsamic vinegar. It is so important to use a really good balsamic vinegar. I don't buy my from the supermarket; fortunately, I am lucky enough to have two local resources: Someone's In the Kitchen, where Bonnie offers a great selection of The Olive Tap vinegar and oils, and Parkview Gourmet, where Charlie carries his own brand. If you are in the Libertyville area, I encourage you to try these local shops.

Preparation
