Ingredients

1.5 pound top sirloin steak (cut into 4 portions)
2 pound sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks)
1 pound broccoli florets
2 tablespoon butter (at room temperature)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper (ground)

Instructions

Place the sweet potatoes into a large pot of water, bring to a boil over high heat, and cook for 12 minutes until fork-tender; drain and mash with 1 tablespoon of the butter, 1/2 teaspoon of the kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper.
While potatoes boil, steam the broccoli florets in a covered skillet with 1/4 cup water over medium heat for 5 minutes until tender-crisp, then season with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt.
Pat the sirloin steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the garlic powder, remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes until shimmering.
Add the steaks to the hot skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit), then remove from heat, top with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Divide the sliced sirloin, mashed sweet potatoes, and steamed broccoli among plates and serve warm.

Notes

Letting the steak rest for a full 5 minutes before slicing keeps the meat exceptionally juicy.
