Tender beef with creamy avocado and roasted sweet potatoes on fresh greens for a wholesome bowl.

# What You Need:

→ Beef

01 - 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
04 - 1 tsp garlic powder
05 - 1/2 tsp kosher salt
06 - 1/2 tsp black pepper

→ Vegetables & Fruit

07 - 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
08 - 1 tbsp olive oil
09 - 2 ripe avocados, sliced
10 - 5 oz cherry tomatoes, halved
11 - 3.5 oz baby spinach or mixed greens
12 - 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced

→ Dressing

13 - 3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
14 - 1 tbsp lime juice
15 - 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
16 - Salt and pepper to taste

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss sweet potato cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and tender.
02 - In a bowl, combine beef slices with 2 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat evenly.
03 - Heat a large skillet over high heat. Sear beef in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until just cooked through. Remove from heat and keep warm.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper until smooth.
05 - Divide spinach or mixed greens evenly into four bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, seared beef, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
06 - Drizzle the yogurt-lime dressing over each bowl and serve immediately.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • One bowl that actually fills you up and tastes like you spent way more time than you did.
  • Everything gets roasted or seared together in about 50 minutes, no complicated timing required.
  • The creamy avocado and tangy yogurt dressing balance the smoky beef perfectly.
02 -
  • Slice the beef against the grain if possible—it makes a huge difference in tenderness, and you'll know it immediately when you bite into it.
  • Don't add avocado until right before you eat because it oxidizes and turns brown within minutes of slicing.
  • The sweet potatoes need that halfway turn in the oven or the bottom side stays pale and watery instead of getting that caramelized edge.
03 -
  • If your avocados are rock hard, cut them and microwave the halves for 30 seconds to soften them just enough to slice without destroying them.
  • Make extra yogurt dressing and keep it in a jar—it works on salads, roasted vegetables, grilled fish, and even as a spread on toast the next day.
