Grilled New York Strip and Sweet Potato Salad with Chile-Lime Dressing
Normally, I am all in for rib-eye every time. It's my favorite cut with it's quality marbling of fat to meat ratios. But, we were keeping it a little more healthy for this meal, so I went for a leaner, thinner strip steak. It kept the fat in check, and the portions smaller than your average hunk of rib-eye. Pick a cut the suites you. We all have our preferred cut.
1 1/2teas minced canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce
12teas ground cumin

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 F and get charcoal ready in your grill.
Toss the sweet potatoes in the 1 tbs olive oil and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Season well with salt and pepper. Bake in oven until cooked through and starting to brown, tossing once or twice, about 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together the lime juice, cilantro, honey, chipotle, and cumin in a small bowl or in a resealable jar and shake well.
Cook the steaks over coals until desired doneness and let rest 10 minutes wrapped tightly in aluminum foil before slicing in thin strips to serve.
Arrange salad with sweet potatoes and other toppings on platter. Slice the steak and put it on top. Serve with the chile-lime dressing.
