Ingredients
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
Sweet Potato Cups
- 2 medium sweet potato
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp Lifeway Salted Kefir Butter
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- avocado oil spray
Steak
- 1 1/4 lb sirloin steak
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Kefir Avocado Sauce
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup plain Lifeway Kefir
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 juice lime
- 1/2 piece jalapeño
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- 2Spray the cut sides of the sweet potatoes with avocado oil spray, then season with sea salt and onion powder. Place them cut‑side down on the pan and roast for 40–45 minutes, until the flesh is tender.
- 3Remove the potatoes from the oven, scoop out the flesh, and let it cool for 8–10 minutes to allow steam to escape.
- 4Mash the sweet potato flesh until smooth, then stir in the Lifeway Salted Kefir Butter until fully incorporated.
- 5Add ½ cup of cornstarch, then continue adding a few tablespoons at a time, up to 1 cup total, mixing until a soft dough forms that holds its shape. Adjust based on the potato’s moisture.
- 6Divide the dough into four equal portions, roll each into a ball, and press a small glass into the center of each ball to create a cup shape. Lightly spray the cups with avocado oil spray.
- 7Bake the sweet potato cups for 20–25 minutes, until set and lightly golden. Let them rest for 5 minutes.
- 8Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels, then toss them with avocado oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
- 9Heat a stainless‑steel skillet over medium‑high to high heat. Add the steak cubes in a single layer and sear undisturbed for about 2 minutes, then toss and cook an additional 1–2 minutes until browned but still juicy.
- 10In a blender, combine the avocado, plain Lifeway Kefir, packed cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño, and sea salt. Blend until smooth, adding more kefir if a thinner consistency is desired.
- 11To assemble, spoon some kefir‑avocado sauce into each sweet potato cup, pile on the seared steak, drizzle more sauce over the steak, and finish with quartered cherry tomatoes and a garnish of fresh cilantro.
