Nothing quite says “hearty” like a well-cooked steak and potatoes meal. This kind of dish brings us back to weekday meals with family, where we slowly enjoy our food while chatting about our day. This homey meal works great for any occasion due to the simplicity of the one-dish prep, the low number of ingredients, and the short cook time.
Unlike traditional steak and potatoes, you’ll be using broccoli florets and sweet potatoes. While this may throw the flavors off a bit from the meals of your youth, this combination still achieves a homey taste through the roasting process.
While sirloin steak may not be a cut you eat every day, it’s a great red meat indulgence to have occasionally.
Given that, if you aren’t used to purchasing sirloin, here are some things to consider: Make sure to look for cuts that have good color without any package bloating (this can indicate early spoiling); weigh the cost-benefits of cheaper sirloin with the ethical implications (often cheaper meat is the result of factory-farming practices); and, consider purchasing your sirloin from a local source in bulk.
Tons of cattle farmers offer quarter to full cows, which they raise, slaughter, and butcher. If you can afford the deep freezer space, this is a great way to save money on beef.
Since this dish does a great job combining meat and vegetables already, you shouldn’t need to do too much additional work pulling together a complete meal. Try serving this dish on its own or with a simple salad to accompany it.
