Instructions

Marinate the steak by combining all marinade ingredients in a large zip-top bag, add the steak, seal, and refrigerate for 1 to 6 hours.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the sweet potatoes on the sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with garlic salt and black pepper. Toss to coat and roast for 25–30 minutes.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat and add a thin layer of oil. Sear the steak for 2–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let the steak rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
In a blender, combine all drizzle ingredients and blend until smooth, adjusting with water as needed for consistency.
Assemble the bowls with cooked rice at the base, topped with sliced steak, roasted sweet potatoes, avocado slices, and arugula or spinach. Drizzle with the avocado-cilantro sauce.

Notes

For meal prep, marinate the steak the night before. You can substitute flank steak with chicken or other cuts of beef.
