(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 2 strip steaks (1 1/2 inches thick; about 1 lb. each)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 small sweet potatoes, cut lengthwise into 8 wedges
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp ground chipotle powder
  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp. hot sauce
  • 2 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, zested and quartered

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler. Pat the steaks dry. In a small bowl, mix the cumin and garlic powder with 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper. Rub the mixture all over the steaks.

  2. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the sweet potatoes with the oil. In another small bowl, mix the chipotle powder and 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Sprinkle the chipotle mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss until coated. Arrange the steaks in the center of the baking sheet. Arrange the sweet potatoes in an even layer around the steaks.

  3. Broil until the steaks are browned, turning the steaks and sweet potatoes halfway through, 8-10 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. If necessary, return the sweet potatoes to the oven and continue to broil until tender, 3-5 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the mayo, sour cream and hot sauce; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the steak and sweet potatoes with the cilantro and lime zest. Serve with the lime wedges for squeezing and the sauce for dipping.
