Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 whole jalapenos
3 bell peppers, choose 3 different colors
2 1/2 pounds small potatoes, such as baby Yukon gold or small red skin potatoes, coarsely chopped
Salt
4 slices bacon, chopped
2 tablespoons chipotle powder, divided
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon dark chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons grill seasoning (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)
2 large T-Bone steaks 1 1/2 inches thick, 2 1/2 pounds total
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, 3 turns of the pan, divided
1/4 cup bourbon, eyeball it

Steps:

  • Seed and slice the hot and sweet fresh peppers and reserve.
  • Cover potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Add salt to boiling water. Cook potatoes until tender, 10-12 minutes. Chop and brown bacon in a small skillet and add a tablespoon of chipotle powder and onions. Cook 5 minutes over medium heat until onions are tender. When potatoes are tender, drain and return to hot pot. Add bacon mixture and sour cream to the potatoes. Smash potatoes and season with salt, to taste.
  • While potatoes are working, combine dry spice rub: chili powder, remaining chipotle powder, cumin and grill seasoning. Rub steaks liberally on both sides with the mixture. Heat a 12 to14-inch skillet screaming hot. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 2 turns of the pan. It will smoke. Add steaks and do not turn for 6 minutes. Flip and cook another 6 minutes for medium rare, up to 10 minutes for well done. Remove skillet from flame and add bourbon. Return steaks to stove and flame the pan. When the fire goes out, transfer the meat to a large serving platter and pour pan juices over the top. Let meat rest for juices to redistribute. Return pan to heat and add remaining tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Add hot and sweet peppers to the pan and saute them for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pile peppers alongside steaks.
  • Remove meat from the T bones and cut into 4 portions. Top with some peppers and pile some chipotle smashers along side. Spoon drippings and juices over meat and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth skin, without any bruises or blemishes.
  • To achieve perfectly crispy smashed sweet potatoes, make sure to use a fork to smash them flat before roasting.
  • For a smoky flavor, roast the sweet potatoes on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. This will help create a crispy crust.
  • Make sure to season the sweet potatoes generously with a mixture of salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder before roasting.
  • For a creamy and flavorful sauce, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro, and chipotle peppers in a food processor or blender until smooth.
  • Serve the smashed sweet potatoes immediately topped with the chipotle yogurt sauce, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped cilantro for a delicious and satisfying meal.
