Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast the sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, pat the steak bites dry with paper towels. Season them generously with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the steak bites to the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the same skillet.
Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Return the steak bites to the skillet with the garlic butter. Toss to coat.
Add the roasted sweet potatoes to the skillet and gently toss everything together.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For crispier sweet potatoes, ensure they are in a single layer on the baking sheet and do not overcrowd the pan.
Adjust the cooking time for the steak bites based on your desired level of doneness.
Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli florets or bell peppers to the roasting pan with the sweet potatoes.
