Steak Green Sauce Sweet


  • Author: Jennie Graham
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 15-20 per serving 1x

Description

A perfectly seared ribeye steak paired with caramelized sweet potatoes and a vibrant parsley-caper green sauce that balances richness with fresh, tangy flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (1 steak) Ribeye steak
  • 2 medium Sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup Fresh parsley leaves
  • 2 tbsp Capers (drained)
  • 3 cloves Garlic cloves
  • 4 tbsp (divided) Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon Lemon juice
  • To taste Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • 1. Prep the Steak: Remove ribeye from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides, allowing it to reach room temperature for even cooking.
  • 2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut sweet potatoes into uniform wedges, toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes.
  • 3. Sear the Steak: Heat cast iron skillet over high heat. Add remaining olive oil and sear steak 4-5 minutes per side without moving. Cook until internal temperature reaches your preference.
  • 4. Make Green Sauce: In food processor, combine parsley, capers, garlic, remaining olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pulse until smooth but slightly chunky texture remains.
  • 5. Rest and Serve: Let steak rest 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve alongside roasted sweet potatoes, generously drizzled with fresh green sauce.

Notes

  • Let your steak reach room temperature before cooking to ensure even heat distribution and prevent tough, unevenly cooked meat
  • Don’t move the steak while searing – this creates the perfect caramelized crust that locks in juices and flavor
  • Use a meat thermometer for precision – 125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium doneness that most people prefer
  • Taste your green sauce and adjust lemon juice or salt as needed – the acidity should balance the richness perfectly
