# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It feels like restaurant quality but comes together in under an hour with everyday ingredients.
  • Every bite has contrast: creamy, crunchy, warm, cool, tangy, savory.
  • You can prep the sweet potatoes ahead and toss everything together when hunger strikes.
  • Its naturally gluten-free and easy to adjust for whatever protein or greens you have on hand.
02 -
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when searing the beef or it will steam instead of getting that deep, caramelized crust.
  • If your sweet potatoes aren't crisping, your oven might be running cool—crank it up or give them an extra five minutes.
  • Slice the beef against the grain or it will be chewy no matter how perfectly you cook it.
03 -
  • Let your beef rest for a minute after searing so the juices redistribute and every bite stays tender.
  • Use a hot oven and don't overcrowd the pan—space lets the sweet potatoes caramelize instead of steam.
  • Taste your dressing before drizzling and adjust the lime and salt to your preference, it should be bold enough to stand up to all the other flavors.
