Not much is better than a steak dinner. Growing up it was something we always looked forward to, and not much has changed since I have came to college. Making the time to grill your own steak is something you just have to do sometimes. Although grilling is not something I have yet learned how to do, at least I have a boyfriend who has mastered the trade quite well! For now, I'll leave the grilling up to him while I prepare the rest of our meals. I marinated the steaks, cooked the green beans and cooked the sliced, baked sweet potatoes. I found the sweet potatoes recipe while looking through a Rachel Ray magazine. This was a great steak dinner for Ben and I, and we loved the alternative sweet potatoes instead of the regular baked potato we are used to with steak.
Ingredients:
steak of choice
A1 steak marinade
sweet potatoes:
2 sweet potatoes (sliced)
melted butter
sugar
salt/pepper
green beans
salt/pepper to taste
liquid smoke
2 tbs butter
Marinate two Strip steaks for several hours or overnight with A1 steak marinade. Grill until it reaches desired texture/color.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place sliced sweet potatoes on a greased cookie sheet. Baste with butter and sprinkle sugar and salt/pepper to taste. Bake for 20 minutes then flip cooking for an additional 10 minutes until slightly browned.
Place canned or frozen green beans into a pot over low/medium heat. Add a splash of liquid smoke, butter and salt/pepper. Cook until hot.
