# Step-by-Step Guide:

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

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in under an hour, and most of that time is hands-off roasting.
  • The textures and temperatures make every bite interesting without being complicated.
  • It's naturally gluten-free and easy to adapt for different diets or preferences.
  • Leftovers hold up well, so you can prep components ahead and assemble when ready.
02 -
  • Don't crowd the beef in the skillet or it will steam instead of sear, losing that flavorful crust.
  • Make sure the sweet potatoes are spread out on the baking sheet so they roast evenly and get crispy instead of soggy.
  • Slice the beef thin and against the grain to keep it tender, especially if using flank steak.
03 -
  • Let the beef rest for a few minutes after searing so the juices redistribute and it stays tender.
  • Taste your dressing before drizzling, sometimes a little extra lime or a pinch of salt makes all the difference.
  • If you have time, marinate the beef for 30 minutes to an hour for even deeper flavor.
