Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.
While the sweet potatoes roast, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the mushrooms and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until softened and lightly browned.
Stir in the minced garlic and dried thyme. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Transfer the onion and mushroom mixture to a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet.
Add the Worcestershire sauce and beef broth. Stir until blended with the melted butter.
Add the leftover prime rib, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, and remaining ⅛ teaspoon black pepper. Toss gently to coat with the sauce.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the prime rib is heated through. Avoid cooking longer than necessary to keep the beef tender.
Return the onions and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir gently to mix with the beef and sauce.
Divide the roasted sweet potatoes evenly among 4 serving bowls.
Spoon the prime rib, onions, and mushrooms over the sweet potatoes. Drizzle with the remaining garlic butter sauce.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
Tips and Tricks
Keep the Prime Rib Tender – Leftover prime rib only needs a few minutes to warm through. Cooking it too long can make the beef dry and chewy.Use Evenly Sized Sweet Potatoes – Cut the sweet potatoes into similar-sized cubes so they roast evenly and finish cooking at the same time.Give the Sweet Potatoes Room – Leave some space between the cubes on the baking sheet. Crowded sweet potatoes can become soft instead of developing lightly browned edges.Save the Garlic Butter Sauce – Spoon any extra sauce from the skillet over the finished bowls. It adds plenty of rich, savory flavor to the sweet potatoes.Adjust the Salt – Prime rib may already be heavily seasoned from its original preparation. Taste the beef before adding extra salt.
Storing and Reheating
Refrigerating – Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days, counting from when the prime rib was originally cooked. Refrigerate promptly and within 2 hours of serving.Reheating – Warm the beef and vegetables gently in a covered skillet over medium-low heat with a splash of beef broth. Reheat the sweet potatoes separately in the oven or microwave. Reheat leftovers to 165°F.Freezing – Freeze the cooked beef and mushroom mixture in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 2 to 3 months for best quality, as long as the prime rib has been stored safely. The roasted sweet potatoes can be frozen separately, although they may soften after thawing.Meal Prep – Store the roasted sweet potatoes separately from the beef and sauce. This helps keep their texture from becoming too soft before serving.
