Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) with a rack in the top position. Wash and dry produce. Dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Halve, peel and cut onion into ½-inch-thick wedges. Roughly chop cilantro.
  2. On a baking sheet, toss sweet potatoes and onion with a drizzle of oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 18-20 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, pat steak dry with paper towels; season all over with half the curry powder, salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and sear until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer steak to a plate.
  4. Add tomato paste and remaining curry powder to the same pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Stir in spinach, stock concentrate, sour cream and ½ cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Return steak to pan, cover and simmer until cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; stir in 1 tablespoon butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. In a small bowl, combine yogurt, half the cilantro, salt and pepper. Add water 1 teaspoon at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
  6. Divide sweet potato mixture and steak curry between shallow bowls. Top with cilantro yogurt and sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Serve.

Recipe Tips

For best results, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing.

If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer uncovered for an extra minute.

Adjust the curry powder to your spice preference.
