# Needed ingredients:

→ Beef & Marinade

01 - 7 oz beef sirloin or flank steak
02 - 1 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 tsp gluten-free soy sauce
04 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Vegetables & Greens

05 - 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced (7 oz)
06 - 1 tbsp olive oil
07 - 1 ripe avocado, sliced
08 - 2 cups mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, romaine)
09 - 4 cherry tomatoes, halved
10 - 2 radishes, thinly sliced (optional)

→ Eggs

11 - 2 large eggs

→ Dressing

12 - 1 tbsp Greek yogurt
13 - 1 tbsp lemon juice
14 - 1 tsp Dijon mustard
15 - 1 tsp honey
16 - Salt and pepper, to taste

# How to make it:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss the diced sweet potato with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes until tender and golden.
02 - Rub beef with 1 tablespoon olive oil, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare or until desired doneness. Let rest, then slice thinly.
03 - Bring a small saucepan of water to a gentle simmer. Lower in eggs and cook for 7 minutes for soft yolks. Remove eggs, cool under cold water, peel, and halve.
04 - Whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
05 - Distribute mixed greens between two bowls. Arrange roasted sweet potato, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, radishes, sliced beef, and halved eggs on top. Drizzle dressing over all.
06 - Serve immediately, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • One bowl that actually keeps you full past 3 PM because the protein-to-veggie ratio is genuinely satisfying.
  • Everything cooks at the same time if you plan it right, so you're not juggling six pans at once.
  • It tastes like intentional cooking without requiring any fancy techniques or strange ingredients.
02 -
  • Slice the beef against the grain after it rests—this one move prevents tough, chewy bites that ruin the whole experience.
  • Don't dress the entire bowl until you're ready to eat it; the greens will wilt if they sit wet for more than a minute or two.
  • The avocado is the wild card—a perfectly ripe one transforms the bowl, but an underripe one becomes a harder textured placeholder.
03 -
  • Cook your egg 7 minutes exactly for a jammy yolk—6 minutes is too runny, 8 minutes is too set, and this is the Goldilocks zone.
  • Keep your avocado refrigerated until the last moment; warmer avocado oxidizes and browns faster than you want it to.
