Ingredients
  

For the Bowl

  • 1 large Sweet Potato About 1 lb; butternut squash is a great alternative.
  • Cooked White Rice Swap with quinoa or brown rice for a nutritious twist.
  • 2 cups Baby Arugula or Baby Spinach Mix with kale for varying flavors.
For the Drizzle
  • 0.5 large Avocado Ripe avocados work best for smooth blending.
  • 0.25 cup Fresh Cilantro Packed; parsley can be used if cilantro isn’t your favorite.
  • 1.5 Tbsp Fresh Lime Juice Lemon juice makes a fine stand-in if needed.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Lightly smashed; fresh garlic is best.
  • Salt & Black Pepper To taste.
  • 2-4 Tbsp Water Adjust for a silky texture.
For the Marinade
  • 0.25 cup Reduced-Sodium Tamari Substitute with soy sauce for a similar profile.
  • 2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil Use olive oil for a healthful upgrade.
  • 2 tsp Honey Maple syrup offers a great vegan alternative.
  • 0.5 tsp Red Pepper Flakes Adjust based on your spice preference.
  • 0.25 tsp Ground Ginger Fresh ginger can give it an extra kick.

Equipment

  • medium bowl
  • Grill or Skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • blender
  • Resealable bag

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together reduced-sodium tamari, vegetable oil, honey, smashed garlic, red pepper flakes, and ground ginger. Place flank steak in a resealable bag, pour marinade over it, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the sweet potato. Toss the cubes in olive oil, garlic salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and fork-tender, stirring halfway through.
  3. After marinating, remove steak and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steak for approximately 5-7 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
  4. While the steak rests, prepare the avocado-cilantro drizzle by blending avocado, cilantro, lime juice, smashed garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth. Add water to achieve preferred consistency.
  5. To assemble the bowls, start with a layer of cooked white rice, add arugula or spinach, followed by roasted sweet potatoes and sliced steak. Top with avocado-cilantro drizzle and serve immediately.
