Cottage Cheese, Sweet Potato Steak Bowl with Hot Honey 🥩🍠🔥

 

 

Ingredients (Makes 1 Serving) 🥩

• 220g Sweet Potato, diced
• 150g Eye of Round Steak
• 100g Capsicum, sliced
• 60g Coles Low Fat Creamed Cottage Cheese
• 40g Avocado, mashed
• 15g Capilano Hot Chilli Honey
• 1 tbsp Paprika
• Salt and Pepper, to taste

 

 

Directions 👩🏼🍳

1. Preheat your air fryer to 200°C. Dice the sweet potato into bite-sized cubes and season lightly with salt. Air fry for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking halfway through, until crispy and golden.

   Oven option: Roast at 220°C for around 25 minutes.

2. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and cook for approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your preferred doneness.
3. Remove the steak from the pan and allow it to rest before slicing into thin strips.
4. In the same pan, cook the sliced capsicum for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Add paprika and stir well to coat evenly.
5. Assemble the bowl with the roasted sweet potato, sliced steak, capsicum, cottage cheese and mashed avocado.
6. Finish with a drizzle of hot chilli honey and serve immediately.

 

 

 

Storage & Meal Prep Tips 🧊

• Store cooked steak and sweet potato separately in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat sweet potato in the air fryer to maintain crispiness.
• Add avocado fresh before serving for the best texture.

💡 Tip: Add fresh rocket, spinach or cucumber for extra volume and micronutrients.
