A hearty yet light meal featuring tender lean grass-fed steak paired with perfectly roasted sweet potatoes, balancing savory and natural sweetness for a wholesome dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) lean grass-fed steak (sirloin or strip steak recommended)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2–3 fresh rosemary sprigs
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 lb / 450g), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or olive oil (for roasting)
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Toss sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl with 1 tablespoon coconut or olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread sweet potatoes evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until tender inside with crispy edges.
  4. Pat the grass-fed steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
  5. Let steak sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes if possible.
  6. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and swirl to coat.
  7. Place steak in the pan; add crushed garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs around the steak.
  8. Cook steak for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it until a golden-brown crust forms.
  9. Flip steak and cook another 3-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for thickness and preferred doneness.
  10. Transfer steak to a plate and loosely cover with foil. Let rest for 5-7 minutes.
  11. Check sweet potatoes and toss if needed.
  12. Slice steak against the grain into thin strips.
  13. Plate steak alongside roasted sweet potatoes, sprinkle chopped parsley over potatoes, and serve immediately.

Notes

Let steak rest after cooking to redistribute juices for juicier meat. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness (130°F/54°C for medium-rare). Flip sweet potatoes halfway through roasting for even caramelization. Avoid overcrowding the pan when searing steak to prevent steaming.
