 Steak and Potato Bowls are a hearty and satisfying dish, combining tender steak with roasted potatoes, fresh veggies, and a flavorful sauce. This recipe is customizable and can be made with different toppings and dressings. Here's how to make them:

Ingredients:

For the Steak:

1 lb flank steak, sirloin, or your favorite cut of beef

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Potatoes:

4 medium potatoes, diced (Yukon gold or red potatoes work well)

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)

For the Bowls:

2 cups mixed greens or spinach

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, cotija, or your choice)

1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)

Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Dressing (Optional):

3 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp lime juice or balsamic vinegar

1 tsp Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper.

Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

2. Cook the Steak:

While the potatoes roast, season the steak with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side (for medium-rare), or longer if you prefer your steak more cooked. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

3. Assemble the Bowls:

Divide the mixed greens between bowls.

Add a portion of roasted potatoes, sliced steak, cherry tomatoes, and red onion to each bowl.

4. Optional Dressing:

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice (or vinegar), Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the bowls for extra flavor.

5. Garnish and Serve:

Top the bowls with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream (if desired), and fresh cilantro or parsley.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
