Steps:
- To make the glaze, combine the root beer and stock in a medium heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced to a thick syrup, about 1 cup, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the heat.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Season each chop on both sides with 1 teaspoon of the Essence. Grill for 3 minutes. Turn each chop 1/4 turn to make grill marks and cook an additional 2 minutes. Turn and cook on the second side for 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a baking sheet. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of the olive oil over each chop. Roast until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 150 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Place the chops on 4 serving plates and drizzle with the glaze. Spoon the Bourbon-Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Caramelized Onions onto the plates, garnish with parsley leaves, and serve.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking", by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch, published by William and Morrow, 1993.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until tender and starting to ooze sugary syrup, about 1 hour and 15 minutes, depending on their size. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
- Cut a slit down each potato and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Discard the skins. Add the cream, bourbon, brown sugar, molasses, and salt and beat on high speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Cover to keep warm, or gently reheat before serving.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the heat and serve hot.

ESPRESSO-BOURBON STEAKS WITH MASHED SWEET POTATOES
A favorite recipe from National Cattlemen's Beef Association - The Beef Checkoff. We don't have steaks often, but this sounds so good that I might have to run out to the market for some tenderloins. I may also make this dish for my Christmas Eve dinner. This should "wow" my family and be a nice break from my traditional meal.

Steps:
- 1. Prepare sweet potatoes and place them in a deep pot. Fill with water to cover, toss in a bit of salt and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Boil until tender, 15-20 minutes.
- 2. Remove from heat and drain water from potatoes. In the same pot, add butter and bourbon. On the counter, cover the pot for 5 minutes to let the butter melt.
- 3. Remove cover and add brown sugar. Use a potato masher to incorporate ingredients and to mash potatoes. Add vanilla and continue to mash until desired consistency.
- 4. Adjust to taste with more bourbon, butter or brown sugar. Drool. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are a good choice for mashed potatoes because they are fluffy and have a slightly sweet flavor.
- Boil the potatoes until they are very tender: This will ensure that they are easy to mash and will have a smooth texture.
- Drain the potatoes well: This will prevent the mashed potatoes from being watery.
- Use a potato ricer to mash the potatoes: A potato ricer will give you the smoothest mashed potatoes.
- Season the mashed potatoes to taste: You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other seasonings that you like.
- Add butter, milk, or cream to the mashed potatoes: This will make them creamy and rich.
- Garnish the mashed potatoes with fresh herbs or grated cheese: This will add a pop of color and flavor.
