Garlic-Lime Skirt Steak with Sautéed Spinach and Sweet Potato Mash

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

In a shallow dish, combine the minced garlic, lime juice, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, salt and pepper. Add the skirt steak and turn to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pounds skirt steak

Step 2: Cook the Sweet Potato Mash

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add the butter, milk, salt and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

• 1 pound sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Step 3: Sauté the Spinach

In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound spinach (washed and dried)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Step 4: Cook the Steak

Heat a grill pan or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
