TIPS & TRICKS FOR MAKING ONE-PAN STEAK & SWEET POTATOES

Use a well-seasoned cast-iron pan

There’s nothing worse than having food stick to the pan! I love using cast iron or enamel cast iron for meals like this.

Let the steak come to room temperature

You never want to put a cold steak in a pan! Let it sit on the counter for a bit so it’s not ice cold.

Use a sweet potato of your choice

We used regular orange sweet potato for this recipe, but feel free to use your favorite variety.
