Ingredients

• 6 oz Flank steak
• 1/4 cup Chimichurri sauce
• 2 cups Mixed greens
• 1/2 cup Roasted red peppers
• 1/2 Avocado
• 1/2 cup Sweet potato

Steps

1. Rub the flank steak with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of oil; rest at room temperature 15 minutes.
2. Heat the oven to 425°F and roast the sweet potato cubes 20–25 minutes until caramelized at the edges.
3. Grill or sear the steak in a ripping-hot pan 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
4. Rest the steak a full 5 minutes — this keeps the juices in the meat instead of on the cutting board.
5. Slice thin against the grain; look for the lines in the meat and cut across them.
6. Build a bed of mixed greens with the roasted peppers and sweet potato.
7. Top with steak slices and spoon chimichurri generously over everything.
