Ribeye Steak

Sweet Potato Puree

Sweet Potato Chips

Method

Grilling the Ribeye

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribeye

    Combine coffee grounds, ancho chili powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Rub this mixture over the ribeye steaks. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steaks

    Preheat the grill to high heat. Grill the ribeye steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time for preferred doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Making Sweet Potato Puree

  1. 3

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and chop sweet potatoes into cubes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 4

    Blend the Puree

    Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer to a blender. Add butter, salt, and ground cinnamon. Blend until smooth and creamy. Keep warm until serving.

Making Smoked Date Relish

  1. 5

    Prepare the Relish

    Chop the dried dates into small pieces. In a bowl, combine chopped dates, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, olive oil, and parsley. Mix well and let it sit for flavors to meld.

Making Sweet Potato Chips

  1. 6

    Prepare Sweet Potato Chips

    Slice sweet potatoes thinly using a mandoline. Soak slices in water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

  2. 7

    Fry the Chips

    Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the sweet potato slices in batches until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt and red wine vinegar.
