Sirloin Steak with Broccolini and Sweet Potato Mash Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed, about 11⁄3 lb (600 g) in total
• 1 tbsp ground cumin
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 bunches broccolini
• 4 sirlion steaks, about 5 oz (150 g) each
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tbsp arrowroot flour
• ½ cup cold water
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1. Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for 10 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain the water and return potatoes to the pot. Sprinkle with cumin, salt, and pepper, and mash until seasonings are incorporated.
2. In a pot with a steamer insert, steam the broccolini for 8 minutes, until bright green and crisp-tender.
3. Season steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. In a non-stick frying pan, melt the coconut oil over high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more. Flip the steaks, increase the heat to high, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the opposite side. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove pan from heat and let the steaks rest for 5 minutes, then transfer to a plate, leaving the juices in the pan.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the arrowroot flour and cold water to make a slurry. In the same pan used for the steaks, stir the tomato paste and apple cider vinegar together with the pan juices, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir in the slurry, reduce the heat, and simmer for 3 minutes to form a sauce.
5. To assemble the meals, place 1 steak in each of 4 containers and divide the sweet potatoes, broccolini, and sauce evenly among the containers.
