  1. 1

    Make the Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and cut sweet potato into 1/2" dice.

    Bring a medium pot with diced sweet potato covered by water and 2 tsp. salt to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, 20-25 minutes.

    Reserve 1/4 cup potato cooking water. Drain sweet potato in a colander and transfer to a mixing bowl.

    Add seasoned salt, 2 tsp.olive oil, and half the potato cooking water to mixing bowl. Mash until smooth. If too thick, add remaining potato cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Cover with foil and set aside.

    While sweet potato boils, crisp bacon.

  2. 2

    Crisp the Bacon

    Line a plate with a paper towel.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Add bacon to hot pan and stir constantly until crispy, 4-5 minutes.

    Transfer bacon to towel-lined plate and let cool, 5 minutes.

    Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim woody ends off asparagus and cut into 2” lengths.

    Combine softened butter, blue cheese, and cooled bacon in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

    Pat steaks dry, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steaks

    Return pan used to crisp bacon to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add steaks to hot pan and cook until browned and steaks reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Rest steaks at least 3 minutes.

    While steaks cook, cook asparagus.

  5. 5

    Cook Asparagus and Finish Dish

    Place another medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add asparagus, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until lightly charred and tender, but still crisp, 5-6 minutes.
