Ingredients
  

  • 2 beef steaks (pasture-raised) (1 inch thick)
  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 1 sweet potato large
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • avocado oil
  • sea salt and pepper (omit pepper if you follow AIP)
  • garlic (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Wash and cut the sweet potato into thin wedges. Drizzle olive oil on a baking sheet and add the sweet potato wedges. Add salt and pepper and roast for 10 minutes. Turn the sweet potatoes and roast for another 10 minutes or until cooked through yet crispy. Baking time can vary depending on how thick you cut your wedges.
  • While the sweet potatoes are baking wash and dry the asparagus and trim the ends. Heat a large pan over medium heat. Once hot add avocado oil to coat the pan. Sauté asparagus for about 2 minutes or until browned and then reduce heat to medium/low. Cook for another 3 minutes or until tender. Season with salt and pepper. You might have to do this in batches if you use a lot of asparagus.
  • While the asparagus is sautéing heat a small pan over medium heat and season the meat with salt and pepper on both sides. Once the pan is hot add the avocado oil to coat it. Cook the meat for about 3 minutes each side for medium. Increase or decrease cooking time to your liking or depending on how big your cut is.
  • Serve the meat with asparagus and sweet potatoes.
  • Enjoy!
