  5. 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  6. finishing salt, such as Maldon (optional)
  8. Sweet Potato Puree:
  9. 4 cups diced, peeled sweet potatoes
  10. 2 cups whole milk
  11. 1 tablespoon butter
  13. Grilled Brussels Sprouts:
  14. 20 Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  15. 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon grapeseed oil
  16. 1/2 cup raw bacon lardons (see Cooks Tip)
  17. 1 small Granny Smith apple, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices
  18. 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Directions:

Place beef Tomahawk Steak and soy sauce in 9 by 13-inch baking dish; turn steak to coat. Cover baking dish and marinate in refrigerator 20 minutes; turning once.

To prepare Sweet Potato Puree:
Add milk to medium sauce pan, heat over medium heat 3 to 5 minutes. Add potatoes and simmer 15 to 18 minutes until potatoes are tender. Strain potatoes; reserving milk. Add potatoes, 2 tablespoons reserved milk and butter in food processor or blender. Pulse on and off for 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth, adding additional reserved milk as needed. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.

Remove steak from soy sauce; discard soy sauce. Pat steak dry with paper towel. Season steak with salt and pepper, as desired. Place steak on grid over preheated gas grill. Grill steak, covered, 40 minutes, for medium rare (135 degrees F) to medium (150 degrees F) doneness, turning occasionally. Remove steak from grill; transfer to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10-15 degrees F to reach 145 degrees F for medium rare; 160 degrees F for medium.)

To prepare Grilled Brussels Sprouts:
Place sprouts, apples and 3 tablespoons oil in medium bowl; toss to coat. Place sprouts and apples on preheated gas grill, cut side down. Grill, uncovered, 1 to 2 minutes until grill marks appear. Remove from grill; set aside. Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in medium oven-proof skillet on grill. Add bacon; cook 6 to 8 minutes until half the fat is rendered and bacon is partially cooked. Add sprouts, cover and cook 5 to 8 minutes. Dice grilled apples; add to skillet. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper, as desired. Keep warm.

Serve steak with Grilled Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potato Puree.


Cooks Tip:
-If outside of steak is getting dark, move to a cooler spot on the grill and continue cooking while covered.
-To prevent exposed bone from burning, cover with aluminum foil.
-Bacon lardons can be made by cutting up raw slab bacon into matchsticks. You may substitute cut up sliced bacon for lardons.
