Ingredients for this Beef Cheddar Egg & Guac Power Bowl

• 1/2 lb thin-sliced beef sirloin or ribeye

• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• Fresh spinach or arugula (enough to line the bowl)

Step 1: Marinate and Cook the Beef

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and brown sugar. Add the beef slices and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the marinated beef and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Fry the Egg

In a non-stick skillet, heat a touch of oil over medium heat. Crack the egg into the pan and cook sunny-side up until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Assemble the Bowl

In a large serving bowl, create a base layer using fresh spinach or arugula. Next, arrange the cooked beef, guacamole, cheddar cheese, and the fried egg in neat sections around the bowl. Aim for a visually balanced presentation.

Serve immediately while the egg and beef are warm for the best flavor and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different protein instead of beef?

Absolutely! Grilled chicken, ground turkey, or tofu all make great substitutions if you’re avoiding red meat.

What kind of cheese works best?

Sharp cheddar is ideal, but you can also use Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or Colby for a slightly different flavor profile.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes, omit the cheese or use a dairy-free cheese alternative. Check that your guacamole doesn’t include sour cream if store-bought.

Is this keto-friendly?

Yes, as long as you keep the guacamole low-carb and avoid sweeteners in the marinade, this bowl is perfect for a keto plan.

How can I add more fiber?

Consider adding a scoop of black beans or some roasted veggies like sweet potatoes or bell peppers.

Can I prep this ahead for work lunches?

Definitely. Keep the egg and guacamole separate until ready to serve for the best texture. Heat the beef before assembling.
