Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp maple syrup
6 drops Tabasco ( or to taste)
1/4 tsp smoky paprika
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 medium-sized sweet potato, peeled and sliced into 2 cm rounds
Instructions
Preheat oven to 220C.
Place a baking rack on a baking tray.
Mix marinade ingredients together in a small bowl with a spoon.
Score both sides of sweet potato rounds with a sharp knife to form diamond pattern cuts about 1/4 the way into the sweet potato, this will allow the marinade to soak in.
Brush both sides of the steaks with marinade, (keep remaining marinade to pour over the cooked steaks and as salad dressing) place on the roasting rack, and bake in preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes. You want then to still have some resistance when stabbed with a sharp knife, so check after 20 minutes.
When cooked, remove from oven.
Heat a little oil in a frypan to almost smoking.
Add steaks and crisp for a few minutes on each side.
Serve topped with remaining marinade and with sides of your choice. In photos, I served with mashed potatoes and salad of watercress, corn and pecan dressed with a little of the marinade.
