Ingredients
- 8 oz, trimmed of fat grass-fed beef sirloin
- 1 medium, cubed 1/2-inch sweet potato
- 2 cups, florets broccoli
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Place cubed sweet potatoes on a parchment-lined sheet pan, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and toss to coat. Season with 1/4 tsp sea salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp dried oregano. Roast for 15 minutes until edges are slightly crisp.
- Step 2: While sweet potatoes roast, season beef sirloin with 1/4 tsp sea salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Step 3: Add beef to the skillet and sear for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature 135°F), then remove to a cutting board to rest. Add broccoli to the sheet pan with sweet potatoes, toss with remaining spices, and roast for 10 more minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp and slightly charred at the edges.
