About this recipe

Jerk Steak and Sweet Potato Salad

This Jerk Steak and Sweet Potato Salad is bold, hearty and packed with Caribbean flavour. Tender slices of steak are coated in Jerk Centre Duppy Conqueror Sauce, then grilled until juicy, smoky and lightly charred.

The roasted sweet potatoes add natural sweetness and warmth, while crisp salad leaves, avocado, cherry tomatoes and red onion keep the dish fresh, colourful and balanced. Finished with lime and fresh herbs, every bite brings together smoky jerk spice, caramelised sweetness, creamy avocado and refreshing crunch.

It is a satisfying salad that works beautifully as a filling lunch, light dinner or BBQ-style main — fresh enough for summer, but hearty enough to feel like a proper meal.

Chef’s Tips
Rest the steak before slicing to keep it juicy.
Add crumbled feta for a salty contrast.
Slice the steak against the grain for tenderness.
Serve warm for the best flavour.
