Fuel your day with the perfect combination of savory, creamy, and fresh in one power-packed bowl. The Beef Cheddar Egg & Guac Power Bowl is a satisfying and vibrant dish layered with bold flavors and nutrient-dense ingredients. Whether you’re starting your morning strong or powering through a midday slump, this bowl hits every craving with juicy marinated beef, rich cheddar, creamy guacamole, and a perfectly fried sunny-side-up egg.

This bowl is not just about great taste; it’s about balance. Leafy greens provide a fresh base, while tender beef adds protein and umami depth. The egg offers satisfying richness, and the cheddar brings in a sharp, melty bite that pairs beautifully with the cool, garlicky guac. Top it all off with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds, and you’ve got a visually stunning and flavor-forward bowl that works as a meal prep star or an impressive brunch staple.

What Kind of Beef Should I Use?

Thinly sliced sirloin or ribeye works best for this recipe. You want a cut that sears quickly and stays tender. If you’re meal prepping, ground beef is also a good substitute. Marinating the beef for at least 30 minutes in soy sauce, garlic, and a splash of sesame oil adds tons of flavor.

Ingredients for the Beef Cheddar Egg & Guac Power Bowl

Beef Sirloin or Ribeye: Thinly sliced and marinated, this is the protein anchor of the bowl.
Egg: Fried sunny-side-up for that perfect yolky center.
Guacamole: Creamy mashed avocado seasoned with lime, salt, and garlic.
Cheddar Cheese: Cubed or shredded for a sharp, melty contrast.
Fresh Spinach or Greens: Acts as a nutritious, fresh base.
Black Sesame Seeds: A visual pop and subtle crunch.

How To Make the Beef Cheddar Egg & Guac Power Bowl

Step 1: Marinate and Cook the Beef

Slice the beef thinly and marinate it with soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, and a touch of brown sugar for at least 30 minutes. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding. Sear each slice until browned and just cooked through.

Step 2: Prep the Guacamole

In a small bowl, mash ripe avocados with lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and a touch of chopped cilantro if desired. Keep it chunky or creamy based on your preference.

Step 3: Fry the Egg

Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat with a bit of oil. Crack an egg into the pan and cook until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds for texture and style.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowl

In a large serving bowl, layer a generous handful of fresh spinach or your favorite greens. Add a portion of the cooked beef, a scoop of guacamole, a handful of cubed cheddar cheese, and gently place the fried egg on top.

Step 5: Final Touches

Sprinkle additional sesame seeds or drizzle with a bit of sriracha or hot sauce if you like extra heat. Serve immediately and enjoy the colorful harmony of flavors!

How to Serve and Store Your Power Bowl

This bowl is best served fresh, especially with the just-cooked egg and warm beef. For a meal prep version, you can prepare each component ahead of time—store the beef, guac, cheese, and greens separately in airtight containers. When ready to eat, reheat the beef, fry a fresh egg, and assemble. The guacamole will keep well for about 1–2 days with a tight layer of plastic wrap on its surface to avoid browning.

If packing for lunch, store the egg separately to reheat or cook it fresh in the morning. Avoid assembling too early to keep the greens crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use ground beef instead of sliced?

Absolutely. Ground beef works well if seasoned properly. Just cook until browned and drain excess fat.

Is there a dairy-free version?

Yes, skip the cheddar or use a dairy-free cheese alternative. The rest of the ingredients are naturally dairy-free.

Can I make this vegetarian?

Swap the beef for grilled tofu or tempeh and keep the rest of the ingredients the same.

What’s a good guacamole substitute?

If you’re not a fan of avocado, try a dollop of hummus or tzatziki for a different creamy element.

How can I make this spicier?

Add sliced jalapeños, a pinch of red chili flakes, or drizzle with your favorite hot sauce.

Can I cook the egg differently?

Sure. Poached, scrambled, or hard-boiled eggs also work depending on your texture preference.
