Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, the smoked paprika, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper in a mixing bowl until thoroughly coated.

  3. 3

    Scatter the sweet potatoes across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 22 to 24 minutes, tossing halfway through, until edges are caramelized and the centers are tender.

  4. 4

    While the sweet potatoes roast, season the patted-dry top sirloin steaks evenly on all sides with the remaining 3/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

  5. 5

    Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes until shimmering.

  6. 6

    Carefully lay the steaks into the hot pan and sear undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until a deep golden-brown crust forms on the bottom.

  7. 7

    Flip the steaks, turn the heat down to medium, and promptly add the butter, smashed garlic, and dried thyme to the pan.

  8. 8

    Tilt the skillet slightly and continuously spoon the foaming herb garlic butter over the steaks for 3 to 4 minutes until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 130°F for medium-rare.

  9. 9

    Transfer the steaks to a clean board to rest for 5 minutes, then slice across the grain and serve alongside the roasted sweet potatoes, drizzling any pan butter on top.

Tip

Cut the sweet potatoes into small, uniform half-inch cubes so they roast through rapidly. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat gently in a hot skillet.
