Grilled Beef and Sweet Potato Rounds

April 9, 2024

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.

  2. 3 stars
    The sweet potatoes were a bit undercooked for my taste, I think they need longer on the grill.

    1. User avatar delpha.grant0 says:

      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? 🤔

    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!

  4. 3 stars
    I dunno, grilling the sweet potatoes seems weird. Can you bake them instead? Also, I think more seasoning could help.

    1. 3 stars
      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!

    2. 4 stars
      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?

    Is it really grillin if you dont have BBQ sauce? I donno, but this recipe felt kinda incomplete, like where’s the sauce?

    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!

    Not bad, but I think it needs more seasoning. The beef was a bit bland for my taste. Maybe try adding onion powder too?

    Yum! I didn’t have paprika, so I used cumin! Still tasted great!

    1. User avatar karol.johns says:

    Why do you need garlic powder? Real men don’t need that. Just salt and pepper is fine.

      It’s not bland if you seasoned it right. Maybe you just don’t like the spices used! 🤷‍♂️

      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.

    1. 3 stars
      Fries are good but sweet potatoes are way healthier. Give ’em a chance, you might change your mind!

    2. 4 stars
      I get what you mean! But sweet potatoes go really well with beef, kinda balances the flavors. Give it a try sometime!

  35. User avatar smartestRedditor says:

    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.

    Tried this but the beef came out tough. Maybe I grilled it too long? Not sure…

    1. User avatar Spriggan Earth Mother says:

      4 stars
      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!

    Sweet potatoes! Yuck! 🙅‍♂️ I used regular potatoes instead and it was way better. Just my opinion tho.

    1. User avatar marlin.koch80 says:

      4 stars
      Sweet potatoes are not everyone’s cup of tea, but they can be pretty tasty! Maybe try them with more spices next time? 🤷‍♂️

    1. User avatar kiersten.vonrueden says:

      I’m glad you loved it! The juiciness of the beef really makes a difference, right? Have you tried it with any other veggies?

    2. 2 stars
      Yeah, I didn’t find it that great. The beef was chewy for me, and sweet potatoes too sweet. Just my opinion.

  48. 3 stars
    Not enough seasoning for my taste, I added more spices. Still okay, though.
