Instructions

1. 1Combine the mayonnaise, fresh garlic, and curry powder in a small bowl, stirring until smooth. Set the curry aioli aside.
2. 2Cut the top sirloin steak into bite-sized cubes and season all over with salt and pepper.
3. 3Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sweet potato flesh in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes until golden brown on the bottom, then stir and cook another 10–12 minutes over medium-high heat until fork-tender. Transfer to a plate.
4. 4Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the same skillet and increase heat to high. Working in batches to avoid crowding, add the steak cubes in a single layer without touching and cook undisturbed for 1–2 minutes per side over high heat until browned on the exterior and cooked to your desired doneness (aim for 130–135°F internal temperature for medium-rare).
5. 5Return the sweet potatoes to the skillet with the steak, add the remaining minced fresh garlic, and cook stirring constantly for 1–2 minutes over medium-high heat until the garlic becomes fragrant.
6. 6Divide the steak and sweet potato mixture evenly into 4 airtight containers while hot. Store the curry aioli separately in a small container.
7. 7Serve with fresh cilantro garnished on top and curry aioli on the side.
