# Ingredient List:

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

# How to Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until tender and golden.
02 - In a bowl, combine beef slices with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss 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 and keep warm.
04 - Whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
05 - Divide spinach or mixed greens evenly among 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.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Four ingredients shine equally, so nothing gets lost in the crowd.
  • You can prep everything while the sweet potatoes do their thing in the oven.
  • It tastes like restaurant food but takes less time than ordering delivery.
02 -
  • Don't slice your beef too thin or it becomes almost translucent and loses its texture; aim for the thickness of a coin, not a whisper.
  • If your sweet potatoes are still hard after the time is up, cover the pan loosely with foil and keep roasting—every oven behaves differently.
  • The dressing can be made hours ahead, but the bowl itself should be assembled as close to eating as possible.
03 -
  • Pat your beef dry before seasoning—moisture on the surface keeps it from browning properly, and browning is where the flavor lives.
  • Use a meat thermometer if you're uncertain about doneness; the beef should reach a gentle medium without any gray toughness.
