Ingredients
  

1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried)

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried)

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups spinach (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced sweet potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become tender and slightly crispy on the outside. Remove from skillet and set aside.

    Cook the Steak: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the steak pieces in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding). Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

      Add Aromatics: Once the steak is browned and cooked, reduce the heat to low. Add the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked sweet potatoes back to the skillet with the steak. If using spinach, toss it in now as well. Stir everything together gently to combine, allowing the flavors to meld for another 2-3 minutes.

          Finish and Serve: Remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy this dish warm directly from the skillet or plate in portions!
