Servings: 1 plate of 3–4 lettuce cups with sweet potato
Course: Dinner
Calories: 625

Ingredients
  

  • 7 oz unaged top sirloin steak raw, trimmed (198 g)
  • 220 g sweet potato
  • 3–4 leaves romaine lettuce washed and dried (60 g)
  • 2/3 cup peaches diced (100 g)
  • 1/2 cup cucumber diced (50 g)
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil divided
  • plain salt to taste

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Rimmed baking sheet
  • Food thermometer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Cut sweet potato into ½-inch cubes. Toss with two-thirds of the olive oil and salt. Spread on a sheet pan and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway.
  2. For the salsa, pit and dice the peach, dice the cucumber and chop the cilantro. Mix together and set aside with the romaine leaves.
  3. Pat the steak dry and salt both sides. Heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak whole for about 3-5 minutes per side for a 1-inch cut, until the center reaches at least 145°F.
  4. Transfer to a clean board. Rest for 3 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain.
  5. Divide the steak among the romaine leaves and spoon peach salsa over each one. Serve the roasted sweet potato on the side.
