Name: Arugula, Sweet Potato, and Spiced Steak Salad
Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 1 piece sirloin or top round steak (London broil); 1 tsp. ground cumin; kosher salt; Pepper; 1 tbsp. olive oil; 1 1/2 lb. sweet potatoes; 1 clove garlic; 1 lime; 3 scallions; 1 package baby arugula or mixed greens; 2 c. fresh cilantro leaves

Step 1Heat broiler and line a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil.

Step 2Season the steak with the cumin and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and broil to desired doneness, 7 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 3Meanwhile, place the oil and 3/4 cup water in a large nonstick skillet and bring to a simmer. Add the sweet potatoes, toss to coat, cover and cook, stirring twice, for 4 minutes. Remove the cover and cook until golden brown and just barely tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 4Add the garlic to the pan and cook, tossing, for 1 minute; remove from the heat. Grate the zest of 1 lime over the potatoes, then squeeze the juice over the mixture. Sprinkle with the parsley, scallions, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; toss to coat.

Step 5In a large bowl, toss together the arugula, cilantro (if using), then the sweet potatoes and sliced steak.
