Description
A delicious recipe for steak served with a vibrant green sauce and creamy mashed sweet potatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup olive oil (for sauce)
- 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 pounds)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the flank steak with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
- Grill or sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- While the steak is resting, prepare the green sauce. In a food processor, combine the parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 cup olive oil. Blend until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
- Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks. Boil them in a large pot of salted water for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and return to the pot.
- Add the milk, butter, cinnamon, and salt to the sweet potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Slice the rested steak against the grain and serve it topped with the green sauce alongside a generous scoop of mashed sweet potatoes.
Notes
- For a spicier sauce, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- Substitute the flank steak with sirloin or ribeye for a different flavor and texture.
