Grilled beef and sweet potato rounds combine two beloved ingredients into one irresistible dish. Whether you’re looking for a hearty meal or an impressive appetizer, this recipe has the perfect balance of savory beef and the natural sweetness of grilled sweet potatoes. The best part? It’s simple, delicious, and comes together in just under 30 minutes.
Start by slicing the sweet potatoes into thick rounds, about 1/2-inch thick. Brush them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and place them on a preheated grill. Grilling the sweet potatoes brings out their sweetness and adds a smoky depth of flavor that perfectly complements the beef. Grill the sweet potatoes for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they’re tender and have nice grill marks.
While the sweet potatoes are grilling, season your beef with a bit of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. For this dish, you can use cuts like flank steak, sirloin, or ribeye, all of which hold up well on the grill. Grill the beef for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time depending on your desired level of doneness.
Once the beef and sweet potatoes are cooked, assemble the dish by layering the beef slices over the grilled sweet potato rounds. You can drizzle a little olive oil or a balsamic glaze over the top for extra flavor or garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme.
For added variety, try topping each sweet potato round with a slice of cheese or a dollop of sour cream, or even a sprinkle of crumbled feta or blue cheese. The sweet, smoky flavor of the sweet potatoes pairs perfectly with the savory beef, making each bite a satisfying mix of textures and flavors.
Grilled beef and sweet potato rounds make a great side dish or main course for any occasion. It’s a quick, flavorful, and healthy option that’s sure to impress!

Yuck! The beef was too tough. I guess I cut it wrong or maybe my grill is too hot? Not sure.
The sweet potatoes were a bit undercooked for my taste, I think they need longer on the grill.
Uhm, I think it depends on how hot your grill is. Mine turned out fine. 🥴
I totally agree! I found the sweet potatoes a bit hard too, but maybe they just need to be cut thinner? 🤔
Grilled beef is life! But I forgot to wash my sweet potatoes first. Oops! Still tasted great!
Grilled beef is awesome, forgot to wash, but no biggie! Food still tastes good! 😋
Will try! But how long is ‘medium-high’? I’m a bit lost.
Yum! I used sweet potatoes from my garden and it made it taste even better! 🌱
I tried this but the sweet potatoes took forever to cook! 4 stars but could be better.
I think the sweet potatoes may just need a little more time on the grill, but they are so worth it! The flavors are fantastic together! 5 stars from me!
I had the same problem! Maybe try boiling them a bit before grilling? That might help them cook faster. 3 stars.
Not enough seasoning for my taste. I added more spices and it turned out better. Still a decent recipe, though!
So good! The seasoning on the beef was just right. Will make again!
Looks good, but I bet it could be better with some hot sauce or something. Just saying.
I totally agree! The seasoning really elevates the dish. Glad you enjoyed it!
Delish! Perfect for summer cookouts. My family loved it. Thanks for sharing!
Yum! I added some BBQ sauce while grilling and it was delish! Definitely a keeper!
BBQ sauce? That’s a cool twist! I’ll have to try that next time!
I dunno, grilling the sweet potatoes seems weird. Can you bake them instead? Also, I think more seasoning could help.
I think grilling is the best way to cook them, but if you prefer baking that works too I guess. Just don’t leave them on too long!
Grilling gives sweet potatoes a unique flavor! You should totally try it, but baking is fine too. Just make sure to season them well!
I dont know if I did it wrong but my sweet potatos were kinda burnt. Should I have cooked them less?
This recipe is fantastic! The beef is so juicy and the sweet potato adds a nice sweetness. 5 stars!
I made this last night, and it was a hit with my family! The flavors were so good. Definitely trying again!
I thought it would be better. The beef was kinda tough for me and I didn’t like the sweetness of the potato. Maybe I did something wrong?
This is a no-go for me. I don’t like sweet potatoes, but the beef was alright. But it was just too simple.
I don’t usually grill beef, but this recipe was easy to follow. Turned out pretty good! 👍
I swear it was too salty for my taste. Maybe I added too much salt tho.
How do you grill sweet potatos? They came out too soft for me. I think I did somthing wrong.
Mmm grilled meat, who doesn’t love that?! 10/10 would make again!
Looks good, but I’m not sure about sweet potatoes with beef. Isn’t that a weird combo?
Totally agree! Grilled meat is the best! Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Can you use different types of potatoes? Not a fan of sweet ones.
Is it really grillin if you dont have BBQ sauce? I donno, but this recipe felt kinda incomplete, like where’s the sauce?
Grilling them was super easy, but I added some cumin too. Makes it more flavorful!
I tried this and the beef was too tough. Maybe I overcooked it? Not great.
Meh… I thought the beef could be more tender. I will stick to my slow-cooked method from now on.
I totally get you! My beef turned out tough too. Guess it’s not for everyone. Slow cooking is the way to go!
?? What kinda paprika? This needs clarification! I used smoked and it was superb!
Not bad, but I think it needs more seasoning. The beef was a bit bland for my taste. Maybe try adding onion powder too?
Meh, the sweet potatoes were weird on the grill. I usually roast em. Not a fan of this recipe.
Yum! I didn’t have paprika, so I used cumin! Still tasted great!
Cumin instead of paprika? That’s interesting! I might try that next time. Glad it turned out great for you!
This was super tasty! The beef was juicy and the sweet potatoes were perfect!
This was a hit at our BBQ! The beef was so tender and the sweet potatoes were just perfect!
This is super simple but did I miss something? The seasoning could be stronger. Needs more kick!
Grilled my beef for too long and it became tough. 😭
easy peasy, quick and good. 5 stars from me!
This was amazing!! The beef was so juicy and the sweet potatoes were perfect.
Juicy beef? Really? I thought it would be too dry on the grill. Maybe I should try it anyway…
I’m so glad you loved it! The combination of sweet and savory is just perfect. Did you try any sauces with it?
Yum! The flavors meld so well. Kids loved it too. Definitely making this again, thumbs up!
I’m glad to hear your kids enjoyed it! It’s a tasty combo for sure. Can’t wait to try it myself!
Grilled beef? Isn’t beef suppose to be cooked properly? Don’t want to get sick!
Tried this yesterday, but my steak was way too tough. What did I do wrong?
Grilled beef? Sweet potatoes? Total yum! 😍
Why do you need garlic powder? Real men don’t need that. Just salt and pepper is fine.
Meh. Just another meat and veggie dish. I’ve had better.
I think this sounds delicious! Grilled sweet potatoes are so good. Give it a try before knocking it!

Grillin’ meat ain’t rocket science! Just sprinkle some salt, slap it on the grill, and it turns out fine! Good recipe!
OMG YUM! My husband loved it too, perfect for summer evenings. 🌞
I was skeptical at first, but this is a keeper! The combination really surprised me.
I didn’t have sweet potatoes, so I used regular ones. It was still good, but the flavor must be different. Can someone confirm?
This was absolutely delicious! The spices on the beef were perfect, and those sweet potatoes were a great addition.
So simple and delicious! My kids loved it. I love grilling, makes everything taste better!
Such a bad recipe! The beef was tough, I think it was bad quality meat.
Should’ve added more spices. Was kinda bland for my taste. 3 stars.
It’s not bland if you seasoned it right. Maybe you just don’t like the spices used! 🤷♂️
I totally agree! A little cumin or chili powder woulda made it pop! 🤔
I dunno, sweet potatos and beef? Seems weird to me.
Grilled these with friends and they loved it! Will definitely make again.

Sounds good, but isn’t grilling just a bit overrated sometimes?
Grilling is the best! I can’t wait to try this recipe. Just need to find a good steak.
I don’t get why people like sweet potatoes with beef. Just seems odd to me. I’ll stick to fries.
Fries are good but sweet potatoes are way healthier. Give ’em a chance, you might change your mind!
I get what you mean! But sweet potatoes go really well with beef, kinda balances the flavors. Give it a try sometime!
This recipe is sooo good!! I made it last night and my family loved it!
Absolutely loved this recipe! The sweet potatoes were perfectly tender, and the beef was so juicy. Will definitely make again!
How long should I grill the beef? I’m not great at this cooking stuff.
You should grill the beef for about 2-3 minutes on each side, but it depends on how well you like it. Just keep an eye on it!
Can you grill sweet potatoes?? I thought they are just for baking. 🤔
I give it a 1 star. My sweet potatoes turned to mush!! Totally ruined my dinner. 😡
Yum!!! I added some hot sauce and it took it to another level 😍
I was skeptical about grilling sweet potatoes, but they turned out great! A bit more seasoning on the beef next time though.
This recipe was a hit at my BBQ! The beef was juicy and the sweet potatoes were perfect. Will definitely make again!
Yesss! Grilled sweet potatoes are the best! I just added a pinch of cinnamon on them and it was A-MA-ZING!
Honestly, I couldn’t get my grill to heat up properly, so I ended up baking everything instead. Still tasted alright but not the same.
This recipe is so easy and the flavor is amazing! The beef was tender and the sweet potatoes were perfect. Will definitely make again!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Grilling really brings out the flavors. I’m thinking of trying it with chicken next time.
This recipe looks easy, but how can sweet potatoes be perfect? They always turn mushy for me. 😕
Tried this but the beef came out tough. Maybe I grilled it too long? Not sure…
Yeah, grilling too long is a common mistake! Try reducing the time or checking with a meat thermometer next time. Hope you give it another shot!
omg soooo good! I added some rosemary too. Next time I’m gonna try it with chicken.
Grill???? u mean frying right? I dunno about this but I’m willing to try.
So easy to make! Love how quick it is! Perfect for a weeknight meal.
How many sweet potatos do I need? Just says 2 but they were small.
You can use 2 small sweet potatoes! They should work just fine. Just make sure they’re enough for your serving size.
I dunno, the beef was kinda tough for me. I followed the recipe but it didn’t turn out right. Maybe I used the wrong cut?
This recipe is fantastic! The beef rounds were juicy and the sweet potatoes added a nice touch. Will definitely make again!
Quick and easy dinner! Prepping took me longer than I thought. Still a win. 4/5.
Looks easy but ingredients are a bit pricy. I dunno if it’s worth it for me.
Glad you liked it! Those sweet potatoes sound yummy. I might try adding some honey next time for a sweet twist!
Imma try this but with chicken because beef is too expensive now. LOL
Beef was tough for me, followed instructions exactly. Disappointed!
Easy recipe! My kids actually ate the sweet potatoes, first time ever! Thanks!
Gr8 recipe! I just chucked everything on the grill and it turned out pretty good!
Nice! Grilling makes everything taste better. I love recipes that are simple and quick like this.
Hmm, did you really just chuck everything on? I think you might be missing some flavor with that approach…
I skipped the garlic powder and it still turned out great. Easy for weeknight dinners! 😊
Easy to make! I loved it, but my husband thought it was just ok. Guess everyone has different tastes!
This is too plain for me. I added some rosemary and thyme, much better! It could use a little kick.
This didn’t taste as good as my grandma’s recipe. She used a different meat. Just saying!
Grandmas are the best! But maybe it’s about trying new things? This beef round is still tasty, just different!
I get it! Nothing beats grandma’s cooking. But maybe give this recipe another try with a different meat? You might surprise yourself!
This was absolutely delicious! The flavors were on point, and the sweet potatoes added the perfect touch. Will definitely make this again!
Yum! Sweet potatoes are my favorite, and grilling them makes them even better. Also, who needs fancy spices when you have garlic?!
Absolutely! Garlic really takes everything to the next level. Can’t wait to try this! 😍
Simple yet delicious! My kids gobbled it up. Thanks for sharing! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ugh, who puts sweet potatoes with beef? Just doesn’t mix right for me. 1 star.
I put mustard on mine before grilling!! Don’t ask me why, just did. 😂
This was mediocre. I expected more from a grilled meal. Maybe it’s just not my thing. 🤔
Sounds okay but why grill sweet potatoes? Just boil them! Less work.
Too much paprika for my taste! It overpowered everything. Might try less next time.
I think paprika can be strong, but it’s all about finding the right balance! Maybe try just half a teaspoon next time. 😊
Super easy to make! My kids loved it. Will definitely make again!
I’m so glad to hear that! It’s always nice when the kids enjoy what you make. What other recipes do you recommend?
Why do u grill sweet potatoes? They taste better boiled.
I followed the recipe, but my sweet potatoes burned. Maybe they needed less time on the grill?
good recipe. idk why its like only 5 steps 😂 but i did it right!
Haha, right? Sometimes simple is the best! Glad it turned out well for you! 😊
Looks easy but I dunno, 5 steps seems too simple for a grill… did it really taste good? 🤔
This recipe is amazing! The flavors blend so well together. Can’t wait to make it again.
Sounds good, but isn’t grilling beef that short time kinda risky? I prefer it well done.
I totally agree! The combination is just right. I love how the sweet potatoes add a nice touch.
Grilled beef? Nah, I prefer it cooked in the oven. Come on, who grills these days?
Sweet potatoes! Yuck! 🙅♂️ I used regular potatoes instead and it was way better. Just my opinion tho.
Sweet potatoes are not everyone’s cup of tea, but they can be pretty tasty! Maybe try them with more spices next time? 🤷♂️
Easy to make but the flavor was kinda bland. I added some BBQ sauce and it was better.
This recipe is incredible! The beef was sooo juicy and the sweet potatoes were perfect! 😍
I’m glad you loved it! The juiciness of the beef really makes a difference, right? Have you tried it with any other veggies?
Yeah, I didn’t find it that great. The beef was chewy for me, and sweet potatoes too sweet. Just my opinion.
Not enough seasoning for my taste, I added more spices. Still okay, though.
I followed the recipe but my sweet potatoes ended up burnt. 🤷♂️ I think I need to lower the temp next time.
Is beef even healthy? Use chicken instead, much better for you! Just saying. #Fitness
beef is meat, sweet potato is vegetable. it was ok. not my fav tho.
Simple and quick, just how I like my recipes. 👌
I just can’t get how they say beef should cook for only 2-3 mins. Mine was TOO rare. So disappointing.
Grilled beef? Isn’t that what they call steak? Confused.
Real simple recipe, perfect for a weekend BBQ. Didn’t take much time at all.
Wow, this recipe is fantastic! We loved the sweet potatoes and beef combo. Definitely a 5-star meal!
I don’t know why everyone loves this. The beef was tough and sweet potatoes were kinda bland. 👎
Sorry to hear that! Maybe your grill was too hot? It’s easy to overcook beef. 😕
I think it might just be your taste! Mine turned out great, tho! Sweet potatoes can be bland if you don’t add enough seasoning.
I hate sweet potatoes, so I used regular potatoes instead. Still good but not as I expected.
Too complicated! I just eat the sweet potatoes raw.
Grilling sweet potatoes?? That’s new for me, but it worked! Will try this again for sure.
I dunno, sweet potatoes on a grill? Seems kinda weird to me… but if it worked for you, cool!
Grilling sweet potatoes is the best! Adds a smoky flavor. Glad it worked for you!
Grill? I don’t even have one! Oven roast work too?
Oven roasting should work just fine! Just keep an eye on the timing. 😉
YUM! I added some herbs from the garden and it was a hit!
I don’t know if I did something wrong, but my steak was tough. And sweet potatoes took forever. Not so great.
Sounds like you maybe grilled them too long or used a tough cut of meat. Beef round steak can be chewy. I always marinate mine before grilling. Just a thought!
Sorry to hear that! Maybe try cooking the steak for a bit less time? Tough meat can happen if it’s overcooked. And sweet potatoes usually do take a while to cook, but they are so good! Try cutting them thinner next time!
I didn’t grill it, just fried it. Still came out good, but the sweet potatoes were a bit mushy.
Frying can work too, glad it turned out good! But mushy sweet potatoes? Maybe try cooking them less next time.
Not enough seasoning for my taste! Next time, I’m gonna add more spices!
