Ingredients
- 3 sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 ounces shishito peppers
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 2 boneless center-cut top sirloin steaks (1 inch thick; about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced
- 4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- Toasted sesame seeds, for topping
Instructions
- Prick the sweet potatoes a few times with a fork. Microwave, turning halfway through, until almost tender, about 8 minutes. Let cool slightly, then cut into bite-size pieces.
- Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shishito peppers and season with salt and pepper. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned and starting to soften, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate with tongs. Add the sweet potatoes to the skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Return the peppers to the skillet to heat through, about 30 seconds.
- Meanwhile, mix the soy sauce, vinegar and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Season the steaks all over with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a separate large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks; cook until browned, 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Remove to a cutting board.
- Place the empty skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter and the ginger. Cook until the ginger sizzles, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and add the soy sauce mixture. Whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until smooth.
- Slice the steaks and divide among plates, along with the vegetables. Spoon the sauce over the meat. Top with sesame seeds.

Reviews
Yummy. The steak and shishitos were great. I didn’t love the sweet potatoes. They lost their texture and became quite mushy.
WE LOVE THIS RECIPE. We’ve made it twice already- and each time we’re amazed at the flavors that come through.
