Clare’s Scrumptious Grilled Steak & Sweet Potatoes

Dinner does not get much simpler than this!! Claire’s Scrumptious Grilled Steak & Sweet Potato: Here we grill some spice-rubbed striploin steaks and serve them along side some sweet potatoes with onions baked in a foil packet . Serve with steamed greens, green beans, spinach or whatever leafy green you like. 🙂 I made a little crème fresh with sun-dried tomato sauce to go along side, but if you are being super healthy, then leave the sauce out.

Makes: 4 servings

Preparation Time: 20-30 minutes

Total Time:  1hr

Ingredients 

• 1 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, I leave this out.
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 x 8 ounces striploin steak, trimmed and cut into 2 portions
• 2-3 medium sweet potato, peeled and very thinly sliced
• 1 large red onion, halved and very thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoons coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest

PREPARATION

1. Preheat grill to high.
2. Combine allspice, cumin, ginger, cinnamon, coriander, cayenne and salt (if using) in a bowl. Sprinkle steaks with the spice mixture and leave to rest while you get the sweet potato ready, mix the sliced sweet potato and red onion along with oil and zest in a bowl and coat all the pieces with the oil and zest.
3. Place two sheets of foil on top of each other (the double layers will help protect the ingredients from burning). . Spread the sweet potato mixture in the center of the foil in a thin layer. Bring the short ends of foil together, fold over and pinch to seal. Pinch the seams together along the sides to seal the packet.
4. Place the packet on the hottest part of the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, if the slices are thicker this will take longer. Cook the steaks on your hot grill, turning only once, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare and longer if required Transfer to plates and let rest while the potato packets finish cooking. Open the packets (being really careful of steam) and serve alongside the steaks and greens.

Tip: For the Creme fresh sauce, all you need is half a tub of creme fresh, whizz up 5-6 sundried tomatoes, add some lemon zest, fresh black pepper and  combine for a super simple, tasty sauce to have along side many foods, works great with chicken and really good as a dip for chips.
