Looking for an easy, flavorful dinner? Make this Honey Sweet Potato Beef Bowl with lean beef, sweet potatoes, and a honey glaze!
Ingredients
- 14 oz (400g) beef — ground or thinly sliced, choose a lean cut for tenderness and flavor 
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized cubes 
- 3 tablespoons honey 
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce — low-sodium works great 
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil 
- 2 cloves garlic, minced 
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced 
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese 
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil 
- Black pepper, to taste 
Instructions
- Cook the Sweet Potatoes: - Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil over medium heat. 
- Once boiling, add the cubed sweet potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. 
- Drain the sweet potatoes and set them aside. 
 
- Sauté the Sweet Potatoes: - In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil over medium heat. 
- Add the boiled sweet potatoes to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes, tossing occasionally. 
- Season with black pepper to taste, and stir to combine. Sauté for another 1 minute, allowing the potatoes to absorb the coconut oil and pepper. 
 
- Prepare the Beef: - While the sweet potatoes sauté, heat another large skillet over medium-high heat. 
- Add the beef (either ground or sliced) to the skillet. If using ground beef, cook until browned and broken apart. If using thinly sliced beef, stir-fry it for about 3-4 minutes, until cooked through. 
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the beef and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. 
 
- Make the Honey Soy Sauce Glaze: - In a small bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir until the honey is dissolved and the mixture is well blended. 
- Pour this glaze over the beef and garlic in the skillet. Stir to coat the beef evenly with the glaze. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. 
 
- Assemble the Bowl: - To assemble, divide the sautéed sweet potatoes evenly between 4 bowls. 
- Spoon the glazed beef mixture on top of the sweet potatoes in each bowl. 
 
- Add the Toppings: - Top each bowl with a few slices of ripe avocado. 
- Add a generous spoonful of cottage cheese to each bowl for a creamy contrast. 
- Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds or finely chopped green onions for extra flavor and crunch. 
 
- Serve and Enjoy: - Serve the bowls warm, and enjoy the perfect combination of sweet, savory, and creamy flavors in every bite.
