So today I went to the store to pick up some green onions, garlic, cilantro, and jalapenos.
I already had the red whine and sirloin steak, sweet potatoes, and white onions at home. I am going to make steak, and a delicious sauce
with mashed sweet potatoes. I start by chopping the onions, garlic, jalapenos, cilantro, and green onions. Dice them as small as possible.
Pour some olive oil in a pan and as it starts to show sings of life I add the garlic. When I smell the garlic I add the white onion and jalapeno.
Let is sizzle a short while and turn down the heat. Pour red whine into the pan very slowly while stirring with wooden soon. Two cups worth of it.
Turn heat up a bit and reduce for a good while. Add cilantro and green onion and turn heat up. It is getting a bit thick and I put it on another burner at very low
heat. Slice up two large sweet potatoes and place some butter in a new pan. Fry the sliced sweet potatoes in the butter until I can see the sweet potatoes adding
their stuff to the butter. Remove sweet potato slices and place them into a bowl for mashing. Place room temp steak onto sweet potato butter infused pan to cook on
high heat. I scoop out a third of the
vegetable remains from the first pan and pour them through a strainer over a bowl.Put remnants with sweet potatoes and pour liquid back in the first pan. As steak is
cooking I quickly mash the sweet potato slices and place a slice of butter on top when done, let it soak in. When the steaks are almost done I pour the sauce
over them. Put the heat up until I see bubbles and than I turn it off. Leave the steaks to rest in the sauce. Put some left over green onions in the mashed sweets.
Place finished steaks on a plate and the sweets into a bowl. Drizzle all remaining sauce into a small pan and add some flour, add a bit of water, and reduce
it until I have a nice gravy. Pour gravy over sweets and steak. Eat it alone in my studio apartment.

Im sure it tasted good in the end but mashed sweet potatoes with a red wine, jalapeno, and cilantro gravy does not sound like a great combination to me.
Did the "Sweet potato infused butter" actually add anything noticeable to the steak?
Ill do something similar sometimes, but with a red wine mushroom cream sauce. Cook a steak, finishing the cook with basting it with thyme and garlic butter, and while its resting throw some onions and garlic into the same pan. Let it cook for a min and add some mushrooms. Then add whatever herbs you want to throw in, I like rosemary and thyme. Once everything gets soft and the mushrooms lose some moisture add some red wine and let it reduce for a bit and then when thats done add some cream and do the same thing. Dont add too much liquid though, usually only just enough to cover the veggies, or it takes forever to reduce. Sometimes ill add some spinach, sometimes ill throw the steak back in to let it warm back up, most of the time I treat it as a side and serve it with my steak and some sourdough.

The infused sweets butter technically added something. I don't know if it was much but I try to use every remnant when cooking. No reason to fry the steak in plain butter when I am going to fry the sweets anyways, friend.

Sounds good! I bet that is very flavorful. One time I was trying to buy grape seed oil and the employee at the store who I was asking about it's location thought I meant rape seed oil. Apparently rapes seed oil is the same as canola oil! Luckily the grape seed oil was near by so the employees was not too embarrassed. Have a great day friend.
