# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat the 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 the beef with 2 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat the meat evenly.
03 - Heat a large skillet over high heat. Sear the beef slices in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until just cooked through. Remove from heat and keep warm.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
05 - Divide the spinach or mixed greens evenly among four 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 -
  • It comes together faster than you'd think, with most of the time spent just letting the oven do the work.
  • Every component tastes incredible on its own and somehow even better together, no fussy techniques required.
  • It's the kind of meal that fills you up without making you feel sluggish afterward.
02 -
  • Overcooked beef gets tough and dense—those 2–3 minutes per side are exact; trust them and don't keep poking it in the pan.
  • The sweet potatoes need to be cut into uniform sizes or you'll end up with some burnt edges and some undercooked centers; take the extra minute to get them consistent.
03 -
  • If you have time, marinate the beef for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking—it deepens the flavor and makes it even more tender.
  • Make the dressing first and let it sit in the fridge while you cook; the flavors meld together and it tastes more cohesive when you serve it.
