    1. Brush the grill racks with oil and heat the grill to very warm. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce and the guacamole.

Add in the chiles, tomatoes, and tomato puree and cook over high heat for about 5 min. Add in the olives and oregano and cook for about 5 min. With a handheld blender, coarsely puree the sauce in the pan.
    3. Alternatively, transfer the sauce to the bowl of a food processor and blend, then return to the pan. Season to taste with salt and pepper and keep hot.
    4. To prepare the guacamole, cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh out of the skins into a medium bowl. Add in the garlic, tomato, onion, and lime juice and mash with a potato masher. Stir in the cumin and cayenne sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator till ready to use.
    5. To prepare the steak, rub the meat with extra virgin olive oil and season it on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the meat on the very warm grill and cook for 2 to 3 min per side for rare to medium-rare doneness. Remove meat from the grill, place on a cutting board, and slice thinly against the grain at a 45-degree angle. Place the slices on a serving platter or possibly individual plates and spoon hot sauce generously over the slices. Top with a dollop of guacamole and serve warm.
