Ingredients
– 1 lb flank steak (or sirloin)
– 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste

– 2 tablespoons lime juice
– 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional)
– 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (optional)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Steak and Sweet Potato Bowls with Avocado-Cilantro Drizzle:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and caramelized, flipping halfway through.
4. Cook Steak: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the flank steak with salt and pepper.
5. Sear Steak: Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
6. Make Avocado-Cilantro Drizzle: In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, cilantro, lime juice, and Greek yogurt (if using). Blend until smooth. Add water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
7. Slice Steak: After resting, slice the steak thinly against the grain.
8. Assemble Bowls: In bowls, layer the cooked quinoa or brown rice (if using), roasted sweet potatoes, and sliced steak.
9. Drizzle Sauce: Generously drizzle the avocado-cilantro sauce over the assembled bowls.
10. Garnish: Top with additional cilantro or lime wedges, if desired.
