A satisfying high-protein beef bowl made with air fryer beef bites, sweet potato, couscous, spinach, avocado, pineapple and quick pickled red onion, finished with a creamy yogurt dressing.
Prepare the beef bites: Make the Air Fryer Beef Bites according to the linked recipe, using the smaller beef bite variation if desired. For smaller bites, air fry at 200°C/400°F for 10–12 minutes, then reduce to 190°C/375°F and cook for another 5 minutes, or until cooked through.
Cook the sweet potato: Prepare the sweet potato according to the linked recipe. It can be made ahead and reheated before serving.
Make the quick pickled onion: Add the sliced red onion to a small bowl. Pour over the red wine vinegar and add a pinch of salt. Toss and leave to sit while preparing the remaining ingredients.
Prepare the couscous: Cook the couscous according to the recipe or packet instructions.
Steam the spinach: Steam or wilt the spinach until tender.
Assemble: Add the couscous and spinach to a serving bowl. Arrange the beef bites, sweet potato, avocado and pineapple around the bowl.
Finish: Add the quick pickled red onion and drizzle with the yogurt dressing. Garnish with fresh herbs if using and serve immediately.
Notes
The beef bites and sweet potato can both be prepared ahead for easy meal prep.
Use rice, quinoa or another favourite grain instead of couscous if preferred.
The pineapple adds a lovely sweet contrast to the savoury beef and tangy pickled onion.
For a gluten-free bowl, use rice or a certified gluten-free grain instead of regular couscous.
Cooking times for the beef bites are a guide only. Air fryers vary, and smaller beef bites will cook more quickly than larger ones.
