Moroccan Rubbed Grilled Steak and Sweet Potatoes
i've not yet tried this recipe, but it sounds great for the grill this summer. a moroccan-inspired spice rub coats the steaks and is tossed with the sweet potatoes as well. the foil-packet cooking method for the sweet potatoes yields excellent results (and fewer dishes). from eatingwell magazine april/may 2006, and "eatingwell serves two". dietary exchanges: 1 starch, 3 medium-fat meats, 1 fat (1 carbohydrate serving). posted for zwt6.
