Ingredients
- 2 NY strip steaks 1 1/4 - 1 1/2" thick
- 2 medium sweet potatoes cut into wedges
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
for the glaze
- 1/8 cup bourbon
- 1 TB espresso powder
- 1 TB light brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- pinch red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Remove steaks from refrigerator 30 minutes prior to grilling. Preheat grill.
- In a medium bowl, toss the sweet potatoes with half of the oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Drizzle the remaining oil, salt and pepper on the steaks and set aside while you whisk the glaze together.
- Whisk together all the ingredients for the glaze and heat in a small sauce pan over medium low just until the espresso and sugar have dissolved.
- Place steaks and sweet potatoes on the grill. Grill steaks for 5 minutes on the first side, brushing occasionally with half of the glaze. Turn over and grill for an additional 4 - 5 minutes, brushing with the remainder of the glaze.
- Turn sweet potatoes over when you flip steaks. They are done when a knife easily pierces through them. They will likely be done before the steaks, just keep an eye on them and move them to a cooler section of the grill so they don't burn.
