Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 sweet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 lb Omaha steak tips
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 bundle asparagus

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Rub the cut sides with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast for 30 minutes until the cut sides are golden and caramelized.
  • While potatoes roast, trim the woody ends off the asparagus and finely dice the garlic cloves.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the asparagus and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring often, until charred in spots but still tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Pat the steak tips completely dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • Add another splash of olive oil to the same skillet. Once hot, add the steak tips in a single layer (do not crowd). Sear for 2 minutes per side without moving them. Remove from heat.
  • Immediately add the butter and garlic to the pan. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes, spooning the garlic butter over the steak tips. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
  • Assemble by placing 2 roasted sweet potato halves on each plate. Gently mash the tops slightly to create a well. Pile the garlic butter steak tips on top and serve the charred asparagus on the side. Optional: finish with a splash of hot sauce.

Notes

  • If you're short on time, roast the sweet potatoes ahead of time, the rest of the meal comes together in 15 minutes.
  • If you want your sweet potatoes creamier, add 1/2 tbsp of butter to each half and mash.
  • Topping the dish with hot sauce, chili flakes or even chili oil is an easy way to add a touch more spice and flavour.
