Ingredients
  

For the Steak
  • 1 lb Flank Steak Feel free to use your favorite steak cut for variety.
  • 1/4 cup Tamari (or Soy Sauce) Swap for coconut aminos if you prefer a soy-free option.
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil Can be replaced with extra-virgin olive oil.
  • 1 tbsp Honey Maple syrup can be a vegan alternative.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Enhances the steak's flavor; garlic powder can work in a pinch.
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes Adjust to your preference or omit for a milder taste.
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger Fresh ginger works beautifully as well.
For the Sweet Potatoes
  • 2 large Sweet Potatoes Butternut squash is a tasty substitute.
  • 2 tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Can be replaced with avocado oil.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
For the Bowl Assembly
  • 2 cups Cooked White Rice Consider quinoa or cauliflower rice for a lower-carb choice.
  • 2 cups Baby Arugula/Spinach Any leafy green, like kale, makes a great substitute.
  • 1 ripe Avocado An extra avocado can be used for the drizzle.
For the Avocado-Cilantro Drizzle
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro Parsley can be a lovely alternative.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice Lemon juice works well too.
  • 2 tbsp Water Use small amounts to get the consistency just right.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine tamari, vegetable oil, honey, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and ground ginger to create a flavorful marinade. Add the flank steak, ensuring it is fully coated in the mixture. Cover and allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, then toss them in a baking dish with extra-virgin olive oil, garlic salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated flank steak, cooking for approximately 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steak from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. In a blender, combine ripe avocado, fresh cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding just enough water to achieve a creamy drizzle consistency.
  5. Assemble by placing cooked white rice as the base in each serving bowl. Layer baby arugula or spinach, roasted sweet potatoes, and slices of the resting steak, then drizzle with avocado-cilantro sauce.
