Lion’s Kill Plate — Grilled Steak Feast
Updated: 4 days ago
I'm Jayne Smythe, a coach and trainer at SalesBEAST, and I cook in a small Florida kitchen where the grill gets more use than the oven for most of the year. I believe in healthy body, healthy mind, and I also believe in a good steak after a closing week. This plate is how I celebrate a signed contract without undoing a month of good choices.
A beast does not graze. A beast feasts, but with purpose. The Lion's Kill Plate pairs a seared steak with roasted broccoli and sweet potato mash, the kind of dinner you earn after a week of long calls, tough negotiations, and follow ups that finally turned into a yes.
It is satisfying enough to feel like a reward and balanced enough that you wake up ready for Monday's pipeline instead of regretting Friday. Light the grill, put the phone in another room, and enjoy the win.
This is not just dinner. It is controlled savagery on a plate.
One coaching note before you fire up the grill. Let the steak rest. I know it is hard. I know it smells incredible. Resting for five minutes is the difference between a juicy slice and a puddle on your cutting board, and it is the same lesson as waiting a beat after you ask for the business. Patience is part of the close, and it is part of the steak. Use those five minutes to finish the mash and set the table like you mean it.
Ingredients
Main dish
8 oz grass fed sirloin or strip steak
1 tsp olive oil
Salt, cracked pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika
Sides
Broccoli florets, olive oil, garlic, and sea salt
2 medium sweet potatoes, olive oil, and a pinch of cinnamon
Directions
Steak
Pat steak dry, coat with oil and spices.
Grill over high heat 3 to 5 minutes per side (medium rare recommended).
Rest 5 minutes before slicing to keep juices locked in.
Sides
Roasted Broccoli Spears: Toss broccoli florets in olive oil, garlic, and sea salt. Roast at 400°F for 20 minutes until edges crisp.
Sweet Potato Mash: Boil 2 medium sweet potatoes. Mash with olive oil and a pinch of cinnamon for sweet, clean fuel.
Why This Fuels a Beast
Steak brings protein, which supports muscle and helps you feel full, and beef contains iron too.
Broccoli brings fiber and vitamin C, so the plate is not all meat and good intentions.
Sweet potatoes are complex carbs, which give you steadier energy than a dessert you did not really want.
Olive oil adds healthy fats and gets those broccoli edges properly crisp.
Richard, my favorite person to argue with about the Yankees and the most patient negotiation coach on the SalesBEAST bench, says this plate is wasted on sirloin when elk exists. I reminded him the grill is outside and he knows exactly where it is.
