Instructions

1. 1

   1. Start by marinating the steak. You need to let it sit for at least half an hour. If you have time in the morning you can marinade the steak then. Mix the wine, garlic and thyme. Place the steaks in a dish and pour the marinade over them.

   2. The next step is preparing the sweet potatoes. Slice the potatoes into rounds or strips, whichever you prefer. Put everything in a bowl and add the oil, honey and pepper. Mix with your hands and place the slices or fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes at 200°C. Turn the sweet potatoes halfway through.3. Now it's the turn of the green asparagus. In principle you don't need to peel green asparagus, but you can if you like. Depending on their size and thickness cook the asparagus for 2 to 5 minutes. Not longer, otherwise they will lose their green colour.4. Finally, the steak needs to be fried. Heat olive oil in the pan, sear the steak on both sides, add butter and cook a little longer over low heat. After frying, place the steak in foil so the inside can continue to cook slowly. Meanwhile add the red wine sauce to the butter and finish the jus.5. Serve the green asparagus with the sweet potato and steak, and pour some jus over the meat. Do you happen to have a jar of truffle mayonnaise in the fridge? That goes wonderfully with sweet potato!Enjoy your meal!
