High-Protein Steak and Purple Sweet Potato Post-Workout Bowl

Ingredients

• 1 purple sweet potato (medium, cubed)
• 6 oz steak (such as sirloin or ribeye)
• 2 eggs (large)
• 0.5 avocado (diced)
• 1 tomato (small, diced)
• 2 tbsp red onion (finely diced)
• 1 cup mixed greens (for the salad base)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (divided for roasting and searing)
• salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the purple sweet potato into bite-sized pieces.

2. 2

   Toss the sweet potato cubes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

3. 3

   Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of oil.

4. 4

   Sear the steak for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired level of doneness. Remove from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

5. 5

   In the same skillet (or a separate one), fry the eggs to your preference (sunny-side up or over-easy recommended).

6. 6

   While the steak rests, prepare the fresh mix by combining the diced avocado, tomato, and red onion in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt.

7. 7

   Assemble the bowl by placing a bed of mixed greens at the bottom. Arrange the roasted purple sweet potatoes, sliced steak, and fried eggs on top.

8. 8

   Finish by adding the avocado-tomato-onion mix to the bowl and serve immediately.

Notes

Purple sweet potatoes are higher in antioxidants than regular sweet potatoes, making them excellent for reducing inflammation after a workout. For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice over the avocado mix.
