Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Bowls:

    • 1 lb ground beef (or your choice of beef, such as flank steak or sirloin, sliced thin)

    • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • Salt and pepper to taste

    • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

    • 1 avocado, sliced

    • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

    For the Hot Honey Sauce:

    • 1/4 cup honey

    • 1 tablespoon sriracha or hot sauce (adjust to desired spice level)

    • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

    • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

    • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika


Instructions

  1. Roast the Sweet Potatoes:

    • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

    • Toss the cubed sweet potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet.

    • Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are golden and tender.

  2. Cook the Beef:

    • While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium-high heat.

    • Add the ground beef (or sliced steak) and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon if using ground beef, until browned and cooked through.

    • Season with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you like (such as cumin or chili powder) for extra flavor.

  3. Make the Hot Honey Sauce:

    • In a small saucepan, combine honey, sriracha (or hot sauce), apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

    • Stir and heat the mixture over low heat until it’s warmed through and smooth. Adjust the spice level by adding more hot sauce or honey, depending on your preference.

  4. Assemble the Bowls:

    • Once the sweet potatoes are roasted and the beef is cooked, divide the sweet potatoes into 4 bowls.

    • Top with the cooked beef, sliced red onion, and avocado slices.

    • Drizzle with the hot honey sauce, and garnish with fresh cilantro.

  5. Serve:

    • Serve immediately, enjoying the contrast of flavors from the sweet potatoes, savory beef, and spicy-hot honey sauce.

Notes

  1. You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version of this meal.

  2. Feel free to add other toppings, like shredded cheese, sour cream, or a squeeze of lime for extra flavor.

  3. For extra crunch, sprinkle some roasted pumpkin seeds or sliced almonds on top.

  4. If you want to make this a bit heartier, serve with a side of brown rice or quinoa for added fiber and protein.
