  • 1 large sweet potato about 1 lb, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1½ tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • Garlic salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups baby arugula or baby spinach
  • Cooked white rice for serving
  • ½ large avocado thinly sliced (remaining half used for the sauce)
For the Steak Marinade
  • ¼ cup reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoon honey
  • 4 cloves garlic lightly smashed
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Marinate the flank steak by combining tamari, vegetable oil, honey, garlic, red pepper flakes, and ground ginger in a bowl. Add the steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, garlic salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes or until tender.
  3. Cook the marinated steak in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness is achieved.
  4. For the drizzle, blend avocado, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a food processor. Add water to reach desired consistency.
  5. To serve, place arugula or spinach in bowls, top with sweet potatoes, sliced steak, and drizzle with avocado-cilantro sauce.
