Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Prepare protein sauce (for 6 servings): put 200 g of high-protein cheese, 1 tablespoon of pickled jalapeño, a large handful of cilantro, 1 garlic clove, juice of 1 lime, a pinch of salt and pepper in a blender. Blend to a smooth paste. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  2. Preheat the oven to 250°C. Peel and cut the yam (150 g) into small cubes. Mix with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 1 clove of garlic squeezed and 1 chili chopped.
  3. Spread the yam on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake for 15 minutes, until soft and slightly caramelized.
  4. Prepare a glaze for the beef: in a bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of gochujang, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, ½ teaspoon of sesame oil and ½ teaspoon of honey.
  5. In a frying pan, heat a little olive oil over strong heat. Add 120 g of ground beef and fry for 5-7 minutes until crispy and well browned, breaking up the meat.
  6. Pour the glaze into the pan with the beef, add 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds. Simmer 2-3 minutes over medium heat, stirring, until the sauce thickens and the beef is glossy and sticky.
  7. Prepare the remaining ingredients: dice ½ avocado, prepare 2 tablespoons of tomato and onion salsa, 1 tablespoon of grain cheese.
  8. Arrange the bowl in layers: roasted yam on the bottom, then beef with glaze, salsa, avocado, grain cheese, top with about 1/6th of a serving of protein sauce (about 50 g). Sprinkle with additional sesame seeds if desired.
