“Great well-balanced meal Lana! Youve included lean proteins from the steak fiber-rich foods from the arugula and spinach and a bit of healthy fats from butter. The sweet potato is also a great source of fiber and will help keep you full until your next meal”
Instructions
1.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into cubes. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes until tender.
3.
While the sweet potatoes are baking, season the beef steak with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.
4.
Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
5.
In the same skillet, add the spinach and diced purple onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
6.
To serve, place a bed of arugula on each plate, top with the sautéed spinach and onion mixture, and add the baked sweet potatoes. Finally, arrange the sliced beef on top.
