Directions

Step 1

Roast the Sweet Potato Fries:

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss sweet potato wedges with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy.

Step 2

Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce:

In a food processor or bowl, mix finely chopped parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Blend or whisk until combined. Let sit to infuse flavor.

Step 3

Cook the Steak:

Sprinkle the steak with salt, pepper, and a hint of garlic powder for simple, bold flavor.
Sear in a hot skillet or grill for 3–4 minutes per side (medium-rare), then rest 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Step 4

Assemble the Bowls:

In each bowl, layer sweet potato fries, steak slices, and avocado.
Drizzle generously with chimichurri sauce. Serve warm!

Pro Tips for the Perfect Steak Bowls

✔️ Let the steak rest before slicing for juicy results.
✔️ Use ripe avocados—firm but yielding to gentle pressure.
✔️ Toss sweet potatoes with cornstarch for extra crispiness.
✔️ Chimichurri gets better after 30 mins of resting—make ahead if possible!

Creative Variations

🍚 Grain Bowl – Swap fries for brown rice or quinoa for a fiber-rich option.
🌶️ Spicy Kick – Add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce drizzle.
🧀 Cheesy Crave – Sprinkle crumbled feta or cotija for tangy richness.
🥬 Extra Veg – Add sautéed kale or roasted peppers for a nutrient boost.

FAQs

Q: Can I make this with chicken instead of steak?
Yes! Chimichurri pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken thighs or breasts, adding a fresh, herby kick that elevates every bite.

Q: How should I store leftovers?
Keep components separate in airtight containers and reheat fries/steak in the oven or skillet.

Q: Can I use frozen sweet potato fries?
Definitely! Bake according to package directions for an easy shortcut.

Q: Is chimichurri spicy?
It has a mild kick—adjust the red pepper flakes to your heat preference.
