Ingredients
Steaks
- 3 sweet potatoes medium, long potatoes work well, scrubbed (do not peel)
- 1 teaspoon salt
Glaze
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons pure butter
- 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Place whole potatoes, with peeling, in a large pot, add enough water to cover potatoes, sprinkle with salt. Bring water to a rolling boil. Once the water starts boiling, continue boiling for 6 minutes.
- Using tongs immediately place potatoes in a large bowl of ice water, in order to stop the cooking process. In the meantime, add all glaze ingredients to a small pot and heat over low just until butter is melted, coconut sugar dissolved, and it begins to thicken slightly.
- Once potatoes are cool, after about 10 minutes, remove from water. Place potatoes on a cutting board, remove peelings and slice each potato in half lengthwise. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Turn grill to medium, brush glaze on top of potatoes and grill for 6 minutes. Turn potatoes over and brush with more glaze. Continue grilling 6 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and grill marks are visible.
- Remove potatoes from grill and spread remaining glaze over hot potato steaks. Allow to set 3-5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
