Bourbon Chipotle Steak with Sweet Potato Mojos

This Chipotle Steak Recipe is absolutely incredible. It’s easy to make and the bourbon chipotle sauce is absolutely amazing.

You see this big plate of deliciousness right here. Yep, this is where it's at; bourbon chipotle steak is what you want to be eating, my friends.

Last week was Week of The Steak. Did you know that? If you're nodding your head in agreement or rolling your eyes as if to say, “Ya, obviously” then we need to talk; you either have crazy ESP spidey senses or you know something that I'm only pretending to know.

I have no idea if there is even such a thing as Week of The Steak, but there should be, shouldn't there?

Last week I was cooking for 3: me, my handsome man and the most awesome 6-year-old nephew there ever has been. We're an unlikely bunch for steak week, me being vegetarian for 14 years, my man growing up veggie and my nephew who refused to eat any meat other than fish and crab until a month ago. But we devoured it like a bunch of hardcore carnivores. It was badass.

But seriously, when there's a 10 ounce, grass-fed (read: extra tasty) steak all covered in the most delicious chipotle bourbon BBQ-like sauce staring at you from your dinner plate, you eat it.

… even if you're only six years old. What the what?

Not sure what I was thinking feeding a giant 10-ounce steak to a 6-year-old. Is it even safe for a kid to eat that much steak? It may not have been the best move for the little guy's health, but I swear it won me big time Aunty points; he wouldn't stop telling me how much he liked it.

The salad too is super simple, but 100% all-ages approved. My nephew said to me, only after eating every last bite of his steak, “Aunty, did you make this salad? It's amazing. I love you 51 hundred thousand miles.”

I'm not even making that up. #heartmelts

Here's why you should make this bourbon chipotle steak recipe:

1. It's crazy delicious and packed full of flavor
2. It's quick and easy to whip up after a long day.
3. If you follow a paleo diet, this is 100% paleo (minus the feta, so more like 99% paleo)
4. If you don't eat paleo don't worry, this is just damn good food.
5. See all that bourbon chipotle sauce on the steak? You'll want some of that for your sweet potato mojos too.
6. You can make it on the stovetop!
7. You can make it on the BBQ. So many options!
8. It makes great leftovers. Cook some extra and serve it sliced thin over a salad the next day.
9. It tastes so good! (did I already say that?)

What I want to do is go on and on and on about how tasty bourbon chipotle steak is but then I'd just be wasting your precious steak-eating time. So go on … make some bourbon chipotle steak with sweet potato mojos for dinner!

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 3 sweet potatoes, cut into long wedges
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, pureed (see notes)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (gluten-free, if needed)
• 1 garlic clove, very finely minced
• 1 tablespoon grape seed oil
• 4 10oz steaks
• Feta cheese to top the steak

For the salad: (see notes)

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 1 pepper, diced
• 1/2 cucumber, sliced thin
• 1 cup radishes, cut in half
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• 8 cups salad greens

---

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place the sweet potato wedges in a large bowl and toss them with the oil, paprika and sea salt. Sprinkle over the tapioca starch and toss once more. Pour them out onto the prepared baking sheet and place them in the oven. Bake for 45 minutes, turning halfway.
3. While the sweet potato wedges are baking, prepare the marinade. Place all the marinade ingredients together in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Let it boil for 2-3 minutes, or until it begins to thicken. Pour the marinade over the steaks and set them aside on your counter.
4. Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey and Dijon mustard in a large bowl. Add the pepper, cucumber, radishes, blueberries and any other vegetables you like. Lay the salad greens on top and set aside. (Don't mix the salad yet!)
5. Once the sweet potatoes have been in the oven for 30 minutes, heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat – do not use a non-stick pan or you won't get a nice dark crust on your steak. Remove the steaks from the marinade and scrape off the excess marinade. Pour the marinade into a small skillet and set it aside.
6. Once the heavy-bottomed skillet is hot, add the oil and let it heat just until it is shimmering. Add the steaks and cook for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare or 6 minutes per side for rare. (See notes!) Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for several minutes.
7. While the steaks are resting, bring the reserved marinade to a boil and let it boil for 30 seconds.
8. To Serve:
9. Toss and plate the salad. Serve the steaks with the marinade and some feta over the top and the sweet potato mojo on the side. Eat up!
10. The BBQ Method:
11. Prepare everything as above EXCEPT heat your BBQ, not a pan, to medium-high heat.

Notes

For the salad: the salad recipe is super flexible. Add whatever greens and other veggies you have on hand and it will be delicious!

The best way to tell if your steak is cooked properly is to use a meat thermometer and remove it from the pan when it is 5 degrees lower than the temp you want. Remember that steaks continue to cook when they are resting.

130 degrees Fahrenheit – medium rare
140 degrees Fahrenheit – medium
160 degrees Fahrenheit – well done
