Steps

1. 1

   In a blender or food processor, blend together the tomatillos, jalapeño, cilantro, garlic, green onions, salt, water, and half of the avocado until a smooth puree is formed. Taste the mixture to check for seasoning levels and make any adjustments if needed.

2. 2

   Heat up the grill to a medium-high temperature.

3. 3

   Begin by generously seasoning the meat with salt and pepper. Prepare the grill grates by brushing them with a bit of olive oil. If you're using a grill pan, heat it over high heat and drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Proceed to grill the meat until it reaches your preferred level of doneness, typically around 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Once cooked, take the meat off the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
