Instructions
- 1. To make the fries. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the sweet potatoes on a large baking sheet and toss with 3 tablespoons olive oil, the chipotle chili powder, and a large pinch each of salt and pepper. Spread the fries in an even layer. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, then flip and bake for 15-20 minutes more. You want the sweet potatoes to be tender, yet crisp.
- 2. To make the vinaigrette. Combine all ingredients in a glass jar and shake or whisk until combined. Taste and adjust the salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- 3. To make the steak. Remove the steaks from the fridge 30 minutes prior to grilling. Preheat the grill or a grill pan to high heat. Rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Sear until your desired doneness is reached, about 5-8 minutes for medium-rare, per side. Remove the steaks and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes.
- 4. Combine the butter, blue cheese, and basil in a bowl. Spread the butter over the steak, then slice against the grain.
- 5. Assemble the salad. Add the romaine, tomatoes, avocado, and dressing. Toss to combine. Once the salad has been tossed, top with fries and steak. Serve immediately.
