Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Spread the sweet potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy on the outside. Stir halfway through cooking for even roasting.
Cooking

- Grill or pan-sear the steak for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for about five minutes before slicing.
Making the Drizzle
- To make the avocado-cilantro drizzle, combine avocado, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, and Greek yogurt (if using) in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
- If it’s too thick, add a little water to reach your desired consistency. Season with salt to taste.
Assembly
- To assemble your bowls, divide the roasted sweet potatoes and sliced steak among bowls.
- Drizzle the avocado-cilantro sauce over the top.
- Add any optional toppings, like sliced radishes or cherry tomatoes, for additional flavor and texture.
