Ingredients

Scale
  • 1¼ lb flank steak (or preferred cut)
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1½ Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups baby arugula or baby spinach
  • Cooked white rice (or quinoa)
  • ½ large avocado (for serving and sauce)
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Fresh lime juice
  • Garlic
  • 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
  • 2–4 Tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Marinate the flank steak in reduced-sodium tamari, vegetable oil, honey, smashed garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, and ground ginger for at least 1 hour or up to 6 hours.
  2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss sweet potato cubes in olive oil and season with garlic salt and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 25–30 minutes until golden.
  3. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Sear the marinated flank steak for about 2–4 minutes per side until crusted and cooked to medium-rare. Let rest before slicing thinly against the grain.
  4. In a blender, combine avocado, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and water as needed to create a smooth drizzle.
  5. Assemble bowls with rice as the base, topped with sliced steak, roasted sweet potatoes, arugula or spinach, avocado slices, and drizzled with the avocado-cilantro sauce.
