Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Dice sweet potato into ½-inch pieces. Halve, peel and cut red onion into ½-inch-thick wedges. Remove large stems from kale and chop into bite-size pieces. Strip rosemary leaves from stems and finely chop until you have ½ tsp.
- Toss sweet potato and onion on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Roast on top rack for 10 minutes.
- Pat steak dry with paper towels; season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook until browned, 4-8 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
- After veggies have roasted 10 minutes, transfer steak to the opposite side of the sheet. Roast until steak is cooked through and veggies are tender, 10-12 minutes more. Transfer steak to a cutting board to rest.
- While steak and veggies roast, heat a drizzle of oil in a second large pan over medium heat. Add kale, 2 tbsp water and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5-7 minutes. Turn off heat.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in the pan used for steak over medium-high heat. Add chopped rosemary and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium; stir in fig jam, chicken stock concentrate and ¼ cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in 1 tbsp butter until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer roasted sweet potato and onion to the pan with kale; toss to combine. Return to medium heat until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Thinly slice steak. Divide veggies between plates, top with sliced steak and spoon rosemary fig sauce over the steak. Serve.
Recipe Tips
For easy cleanup, line the baking sheet with aluminum foil before roasting.
If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of water to reach desired consistency.
Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
