Serves 4
Ingredients
2 pounds small sweet potatoes, unpeeled, cut lengthwise into 1½-inch wedges¼ cup vegetable oil, divided1 ½ teaspoons granulated garlic 1 ½ teaspoons table salt, divided¾ teaspoon pepper, divided¼ cup honey 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 teaspoon cornstarch 2 pounds sirloin steak tips, trimmed and cut into 2-inch chunks1 jalapeño chile, stemmed, halved, seeded, and sliced thin crosswise¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Before You Begin
Sirloin steak tips are often sold as flap meat. Use small potatoes, about 8 ounces each, because they will fit more uniformly on the baking sheet.
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss sweet potatoes, 2 tablespoons oil, granulated garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper together in bowl. Arrange potatoes cut side down in single layer on prepared sheet. Roast until tender and bottoms are browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
- While potatoes roast, whisk honey, lime juice, and cornstarch in second bowl until cornstarch is fully dissolved; set aside. Sprinkle beef with remaining 1 teaspoon salt and remaining ½ teaspoon pepper. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add beef and cook until browned on all sides and meat registers 120 to 125 degrees (for medium-rare), about 7 minutes. Transfer beef to large plate and tent with foil.
- Pour off fat from skillet. Add honey mixture and jalapeño to now-empty skillet and cook over medium-low heat until mixture is thickened and jalapeño is tender, about 2 minutes. Drizzle steak and sweet potatoes with honey mixture and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve.
