From the Test Kitchen

Steakhouse-style flavors abound in this dish thanks to two indulgent sides of mashed sweet potatoes and sautéed mushrooms, spinach, and onion—finished with a bit of worcestershire sauce for incredible depth of flavor. For even more rich flavor, we’re topping the simply seared steaks with a herbaceous mix of salsa verde and mayonnaise.

2 Cook & mash the sweet potatoes:

Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pot of boiling water. Cook 17 to 19 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot. Add the butter; season with salt and pepper. Using a fork or potato masher, mash to your desired consistency. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover to keep warm.

Meanwhile, pat the steaks dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned steaks. Cook 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board.

Add the diced onion, chopped garlic, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the spinach; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until wilted. Turn off the heat. Stir in the worcestershire sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter).
