Steak and Sweet Potatoes with Garlic Butter
Steak and sweet potatoes make an easy home cooked dinner. Pan seared steak with butter and garlic served with tender roasted or air fried sweet potatoes.
Ingredients
- 2 ribeye or New York strip steaks, 8 to 12 ounces each
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 -3 garlic cloves, smashed
- 2 teaspoons fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, or rosemary), optional
- kosher salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the sweet potatoes first. Preheat the air fryer or oven to 400°F. Prick the potatoes with a fork in several places to allow steam to escape. Air fry for 30 to 40 minutes or bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until tender when pierced with a knife.
- While the potatoes cook, take the steaks out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Place a heavy bottomed skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Set the steaks in the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes without moving. Flip and cook another 3 to 4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130–135°F for medium rare. Remove the steaks to a plate to rest.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter, the crushed garlic, and a spoonful of fresh herbs to the pan. Let the butter melt and cook for about a minute, whisking to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom, until fragrant.
- Split the sweet potatoes open, add remaining butter and season with salt, and serve with the steaks.
Notes
Storage and Reheating
Let steak cool, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat with a little butter, or warm in a 300°F oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
Avoid high heat when reheating so the steak doesn’t overcook.
