Steak Bites with Sweet Potatoes

Garlic steak bites with sweet potatoes in a cast iron pan with curry aioli on a spoon.
  • Serves:  4
  • Prep Time:  15 min
  • Cook Time:  40 min

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Minced fresh cilantro, optional

Method

  1. In a small bowl mix together mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and curry powder until smooth.

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the sweet potatoes to the pan in a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Cook, stirring, another 10-12 minutes, or until fork tender. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Meanwhile, season the steak all over with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the same pan over high heat. Working in batches as needed, add the steak in a single layer, making sure they aren’t touching, and cook, undisturbed, until browned and cooked to desired doneness, about 1-2 minutes per side.

  4. Return the sweet potatoes to the pan with the steak. Add the remaining garlic and cook, stirring, 1-2 minutes, or until garlic is fragrant.

  5. Divide between plates, garnish with cilantro if using and serve with curry aioli on the side.
