📜 Ingredients

1 (6-ounce / 170g) halal sirloin or ribeye steak

1 ripe avocado

1 large egg

1 cup broccoli florets

2 small carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise

3-4 cremini or button mushrooms, stems removed

1 cup shredded butter lettuce or mixed greens

1/4 sheet nori seaweed, cut into a triangle or strips

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt to taste

Black pepper to taste

Optional: 1-2 teaspoons sriracha or ketchup for serving

📝 Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a baking sheet, toss the broccoli florets, carrots, and mushrooms with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender-crisp and lightly browned.
  3. While the vegetables roast, prepare the steak. Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  4. Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until shimmering hot.
  5. Carefully place the seasoned steak in the hot skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the pan, tent with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.
  6. In the same skillet (or a separate non-stick pan), fry the egg. Heat a tiny bit of olive oil or butter over medium heat. Crack the egg into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Prepare the avocado. Halve it, remove the pit, and gently peel away the skin. Slice the avocado thinly and arrange the slices into a beautiful "rose" shape on your plate.
  8. To assemble the bowl: arrange the shredded lettuce as a base on a large plate. Artfully place the sliced steak, avocado rose, roasted vegetables, and fried egg on top.
  9. Garnish with the nori seaweed. If desired, drizzle the broccoli with sriracha or ketchup. Serve immediately and enjoy your nourishing masterpiece!

💡 Chef's Tips

  • Steak Doneness: For a perfectly juicy steak, use a meat thermometer. 130-135°F (54-57°C) is ideal for medium-rare. Remember the internal temperature will rise a few degrees as it rests.
  • Avocado Rose: To make a perfect avocado rose, make very thin slices, then gently fan them out in a line. Starting from one end, carefully roll the slices into a spiral. You can practice this a few times to get it just right!
  • Veggie Variety: Feel free to swap out the roasted vegetables for other favorites like bell peppers, asparagus, or zucchini. Just adjust roasting times as needed.
