05 - 1/2 tsp kosher salt

# How to Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss sweet potato cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and tender.
02 - In a bowl, combine sliced beef with 2 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat all pieces.
03 - Heat a large skillet over high heat. Sear beef in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until cooked through but still tender. Remove and keep warm.
04 - Whisk plain Greek yogurt, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
05 - Distribute baby spinach or mixed greens evenly among four bowls. Layer roasted sweet potatoes, seared beef, avocado slices, halved cherry tomatoes, and red onion atop the greens.
06 - Drizzle each bowl with the yogurt-lime dressing and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under an hour and actually tastes like you spent way more time than you did.
  • The textures play against each other—creamy, crispy, tender, fresh—in a way that keeps every bite interesting.
  • You can make it ahead, change the proteins, or adapt it to whatever's in your fridge without losing what makes it special.
02 -
  • Overcooked beef in a bowl is sad beef. Pull it off the heat a minute before you think it's done—carryover cooking will finish the job.
  • If your avocado is still hard, this bowl becomes a completely different dish. Plan ahead or have a backup green to use instead.
03 -
  • Slice your beef against the grain if you can see which way the muscle fibers run. This one small detail changes the entire texture of the bowl.
  • Roast your sweet potatoes the day before and store them in the fridge. Then this meal becomes a 15-minute assembly when you get home.
