Print Recipe

A vibrant and satisfying dish featuring perfectly seared flank steak, roasted sweet potatoes, and a creamy avocado-cilantro drizzle on a bed of fresh arugula.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1¼ lb flank steak
  • 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 (adjust to taste)
  • 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. Marinate the steak: Combine the tamari, vegetable oil, honey, smashed garlic, red pepper flakes, and ground ginger in a medium bowl. Whisk together, place flank steak in a bag, pour marinade, seal, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to overnight.
  2. Roast the sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway.
  3. Cook the steak: Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Remove steak from marinade and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. Prepare the avocado-cilantro drizzle: Blend ½ avocado, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper with water until desired consistency.
  5. Assemble your bowls: Layer cooked rice, arugula, roasted sweet potatoes, sliced steak, and drizzle with avocado-cilantro sauce.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness—135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Feel free to customize with different proteins or vegetables.
