Steak

Buttered Sweet Potato

Grilled Lacinato Kale

Method

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

  1. 1

    Cook the Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into cubes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, then return to the pot.

  2. 2

    Mash with Butter

    Add butter, salt, and cinnamon to the sweet potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside and keep warm.

Grill the Kale

  1. 3

    Prep the Kale

    Wash and dry the Lacinato kale. Remove the thick stems and tear the leaves into large pieces.

  2. 4

    Grill the Kale

    Toss the kale with olive oil and salt. Grill over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until slightly charred and wilted. Drizzle with lemon juice before serving.

Cook the Hanger Steak

  1. 5

    Season and Sear

    Preheat a grill or skillet over high heat. Rub the hanger steak with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Serve

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the hanger steak and serve alongside the buttery sweet potatoes and grilled Lacinato kale.
