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. User avatar Falmer Archer says:

    5 stars
    This looks delicious—sweet potato on the grill is such a good combo with steak. I’d probably add a little lime or chimichurri though!

  3. 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:

      3 stars
      Uhm, I think it depends on how hot your grill is. Mine turned out fine. 🥴

    2. User avatar maurice.grant38 says:

      4 stars
      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!

    1. User avatar NAFO.SUPREMACY says:

      5 stars
      Grilled beef is awesome, forgot to wash, but no biggie! Food still tastes good! 😋

  5. User avatar randi.armstrong10 says:

    Will try! But how long is ‘medium-high’? I’m a bit lost.

  6. 2 stars
    I’m skeptical about grilling sweet potatoes for only 4-5 minutes per side—mine took way longer to get tender.

  7. User avatar candyce.von says:

    5 stars
    Yum! I used sweet potatoes from my garden and it made it taste even better! 🌱

  8. User avatar Fiddlesticks says:

    2 stars
    Tried it, and the sweet potatoes were kinda burnt on the outside but still firm in the middle. My grill runs hot I guess.

  9. User avatar Burl Keebler says:

    I tried this but the sweet potatoes took forever to cook! 4 stars but could be better.

    1. User avatar alita.emmerich says:

      5 stars
      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!

    2. 3 stars
      I had the same problem! Maybe try boiling them a bit before grilling? That might help them cook faster. 3 stars.

  10. User avatar houston.schaden48 says:

    4 stars
    Not enough seasoning for my taste. I added more spices and it turned out better. Still a decent recipe, though!

  11. User avatar jefferey.beier7 says:

    5 stars
    So good! The seasoning on the beef was just right. Will make again!

    1. User avatar Blue Dartwing says:

      3 stars
      Looks good, but I bet it could be better with some hot sauce or something. Just saying.

    2. User avatar arianna.corwin1998 says:

      5 stars
      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!

  13. User avatar mira.frami says:

    3 stars
    I used whatever beef round steak I had and it turned out okay, but I think I needed to marinate it a bit first.

  14. User avatar carlos.hills says:

    4 stars
    Yum! I added some BBQ sauce while grilling and it was delish! Definitely a keeper!

    1. User avatar Random Dent says:

      5 stars
      BBQ sauce? That’s a cool twist! I’ll have to try that next time!

  15. 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!

  16. User avatar chantal.padberg52 says:

    5 stars
    Wow. I made this for dinner and everyone went back for seconds. The seasoning clings well even though it’s just spices. Definitely adding to my rotation.

  17. User avatar cornelius.okeefe says:

    I dont know if I did it wrong but my sweet potatos were kinda burnt. Should I have cooked them less?

  18. User avatar alvina.wyman4 says:

    This recipe is fantastic! The beef is so juicy and the sweet potato adds a nice sweetness. 5 stars!

    1. User avatar Monty Weber says:

      I made this last night, and it was a hit with my family! The flavors were so good. Definitely trying again!

    2. User avatar leonie.borer15 says:

      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?

  19. User avatar Rob McKenna says:

    This is a no-go for me. I don’t like sweet potatoes, but the beef was alright. But it was just too simple.

  20. User avatar penelope.oreilly62 says:

    Honestly, this is a great weeknight meal. Minimal ingredients, big flavor, and it doesn’t feel heavy.

    I don’t usually grill beef, but this recipe was easy to follow. Turned out pretty good! 👍

  22. User avatar Questular Rontok says:

    I swear it was too salty for my taste. Maybe I added too much salt tho.

  23. User avatar geoWizard says:

    How do you grill sweet potatos? They came out too soft for me. I think I did somthing wrong.

  24. User avatar hilary.christiansen1 says:

    Mmm grilled meat, who doesn’t love that?! 10/10 would make again!

    1. User avatar erich.greenfelder40 says:

      Looks good, but I’m not sure about sweet potatoes with beef. Isn’t that a weird combo?

    2. User avatar whitney.gerhold says:

      5 stars
      Totally agree! Grilled meat is the best! Can’t wait to try this recipe!

  25. User avatar jenette.maggio says:

    Can you use different types of potatoes? Not a fan of sweet ones.

  26. User avatar agnes.larson says:

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

  27. 4 stars
    Grilling them was super easy, but I added some cumin too. Makes it more flavorful!

  28. User avatar oma.reichert says:

    2 stars
    I tried this and the beef was too tough. Maybe I overcooked it? Not great.

  29. User avatar ermelinda.goodwin1960 says:

    4 stars
    My sweet potatoes were still kinda firm after 4-5 minutes per side. I think my slices were too thick. The idea is good though—just need more cooking or thinner slices.

  30. User avatar gilbert.haag says:

    2 stars
    Meh… I thought the beef could be more tender. I will stick to my slow-cooked method from now on.

    1. User avatar mohamed.bogan2023 says:

      4 stars
      I totally get you! My beef turned out tough too. Guess it’s not for everyone. Slow cooking is the way to go!

  31. 4 stars
    ?? What kinda paprika? This needs clarification! I used smoked and it was superb!

  32. User avatar bernardo.kreiger says:

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

  33. 1 star
    Meh, the sweet potatoes were weird on the grill. I usually roast em. Not a fan of this recipe.

  34. User avatar joane.wiza53 says:

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

    1. User avatar karol.johns says:

      Cumin instead of paprika? That’s interesting! I might try that next time. Glad it turned out great for you!

  35. 5 stars
    This was super tasty! The beef was juicy and the sweet potatoes were perfect!

  36. 5 stars
    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!

      Juicy beef? Really? I thought it would be too dry on the grill. Maybe I should try it anyway…

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

    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!

  52. 4 stars
    Gonna try this but with thinner sweet potato slices. Also I like my steak medium so I’ll watch the time closely.

  53. User avatar titus.mueller says:

    I tried this but the sweet potatoes took forever to cook! Really frustrating. I ended up microwaving them. 😩

    Too much garlic. It overpowered everything! Won’t make again. 2 stars.

    yummy!! best food i eat all week!!!

  59. 3 stars
    Grillin’ meat ain’t rocket science! Just sprinkle some salt, slap it on the grill, and it turns out fine! Good recipe!

  60. 3 stars
    Not bad, but 2-3 minutes per side felt way too short for my grill. My beef was underdone at first, so I ended up doing closer to 4 minutes per side. Still juicy, just adjust for thickness.

    1. User avatar harvey.corkery97 says:

      4 stars
      2-3 min/side always scares me unless it’s super thin. If it’s still pink in the middle, 4 min makes sense. I’d also check with a thermometer just to be safe.

    2. User avatar oPandariaNo says:

      5 stars
      Good point—grill temps and thickness vary a lot. I usually go closer to 4 minutes too if my rounds are thick. Glad it stayed juicy!

  61. User avatar liberal.hero says:

    OMG YUM! My husband loved it too, perfect for summer evenings. 🌞

  62. 5 stars
    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.

    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.

    1. User avatar brooks.raynor17 says:

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

    2. 4 stars
      I totally agree! A little cumin or chili powder woulda made it pop! 🤔

  68. User avatar alyse.robel51 says:

    2 stars
    I dunno, sweet potatos and beef? Seems weird to me.
