Description

A warm, hearty bowl filled with marinated steak, roasted sweet potatoes, and a creamy avocado-cilantro drizzle.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1¼ lb flank steak (or your preferred cut)
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1½ Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Garlic salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups baby arugula or baby spinach
  • Cooked white rice, for serving
  • ½ large avocado, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup reduced-sodium tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 4 garlic cloves, lightly smashed
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • ½ large avocado
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, packed
  • 1½ Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2–4 Tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a large zip-top bag and mix well. Add the steak, seal, and refrigerate for 1 to 6 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the sweet potatoes, drizzle with olive oil, season with garlic salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Spread into an even layer and roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and tender.
  3. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add a thin layer of high-heat oil. Sear the steak for 2–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Rest the steak for at least 10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  4. Add all drizzle ingredients except water to a blender or small food processor. Pulse until combined. Add 2 Tbsp water and blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Divide rice among bowls. Top with sliced steak, roasted sweet potatoes, avocado slices, and greens. Drizzle generously with the avocado-cilantro sauce and serve.

Notes

Make ahead by marinating the steak overnight and roasting sweet potatoes a day in advance for quick assembly.
