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? 🤔
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?
I don’t usually grill beef, but this recipe was easy to follow. Turned out pretty good! 👍
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!
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!
Cumin instead of paprika? That’s interesting! I might try that next time. Glad it turned out great for you!
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!
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?
Grilled beef? Isn’t beef suppose to be cooked properly? Don’t want to get sick!
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!
Yum! The spices were on point and quick to make. Will definitely make again!
I’m glad you liked it! This is my go-to recipe now. So easy and tasty!
I don’t get why you would grill sweet potatoes? Isn’t that weird? I baked mine instead.
5 stars! Perfect for summer cookouts! Just make sure you keep an eye on those sweet potatoes so they don’t burn.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely watch the sweet potatoes this time. Can’t wait to try this at my next BBQ!
I tried this but the sweet potatoes took forever to cook! Really frustrating. I ended up microwaving them. 😩
Yummy! I added some chili flakes for a kick! 🔥 Loved it so much.
This recipe is a hit! My family loved it and asked for seconds! The flavors were spot on.
So simple and delicious! My kids loved it. I love grilling, makes everything taste better!
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! 🤔
Grilled these with friends and they loved it! Will definitely make again.
This is delicious! The combo of beef and sweet potatoes is genius. Will make again!
Yummy in my tummy! I love grilling! 🔥 Can’t believe how quick it was too.
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!
I give it a 1 star. My sweet potatoes turned to mush!! Totally ruined my dinner. 😡
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.
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.
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!
Easy to make! I loved it, but my husband thought it was just ok. Guess everyone has different tastes!
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. 😂
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? 🤷♂️
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.
