Seared Southwest-spiced steak is finished with a glossy Tex-Mex pan sauce built from orange juice and lime, adding a bright, citrusy depth. Roasted sweet potato, bell pepper, and onion round out the plate, while a tangy sour cream lime crema ties everything together with a cool, zesty finish.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Adjust racks to top and middle positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Dice sweet potato into ½-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and slice onion into ½-inch-thick wedges. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Zest and quarter lime. Halve orange.

Roast Veggies
2
  • Toss sweet potato, onion, and bell pepper on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, half the Southwest Spice Blend (you’ll use the rest in the next step), and a big pinch of salt and pepper.

  • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.

Cook Steak
3
  • Meanwhile, pat steak* dry with paper towels; season all over with remaining Southwest Spice Blend, salt, and pepper.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer steak to a cutting board. Wipe out pan.

Make Crema
4
  • While pork and veggies roast, in a small bowl, combine sour cream, a squeeze of lime juice, and a pinch of lime zest.

  • Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

Make Tex-Mex Sauce
5
  • Heat pan used for steak over medium-high heat. Stir in half the Tex-Mex paste (all for 4 servings), juice from orange halves, and a squeeze of lime juice. Bring to a simmer and cook until sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes.

  • Remove pan from heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted and combined.

Finish & Serve
6
  • Thinly slice steak against the grain.

  • Divide steak and veggie jumble between plates. Spoon Tex-Mex sauce over steak. Drizzle crema over everything and serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
