Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 1 medium steak (sirloin or ribeye), seasoned with salt and pepper
Sweet Potato Mash
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 1 tsp butter
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Garlic Green Beans
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Pinch of salt
Chimichurri Sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small red chili, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare Sweet Potato Mash: Boil peeled and cubed sweet potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well and mash with butter, salt, and pepper until creamy and smooth. Set aside.
- Cook the Steak: Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a skillet over high heat with a bit of olive oil. Sear the steak for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juices. Then slice thinly against the grain.
- Sauté Green Beans: In the same or a clean skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add green beans with a pinch of salt and sauté until crisp-tender, approximately 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Prepare Chimichurri Sauce: Combine chopped parsley, minced garlic, red chili, red wine vinegar, and olive oil in a small bowl. Mix well to create a vibrant and flavorful sauce.
- Assemble the Bowl: On a plate or bowl, spread the sweet potato mash as the base. Layer the sliced steak on top, followed by the garlic sautéed green beans. Spoon the chimichurri sauce generously over the steak. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Resting the steak after cooking helps retain its juices for a more tender bite.
- You can substitute ribeye for sirloin based on your preference for fattiness and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of red chili in the chimichurri for your preferred spice level.
- Use fresh parsley for the best chimichurri flavor; dried will not give the same bright taste.
