Sweet & Smoky Pulled Beef Baked Sweet Potato
Cook Time 3 hours 30 minutes
Servings 4
Ingredients
500g chuck steak, whole
Salt and pepper
1 can Dr Pepper or Cola
1 cup smokey BBQ sauce
4 small sweet potatoes
¼ cup olive oil
100g unsalted butter, softened
2 cups cacio pepper cheese, grated
½ cup sour cream
¼ chives, finely chopped
¼ cup pickled jalapenos, chopped
Method
Preheat the oven to 160°C.
Heat a casserole dish over high heat. Season steak with salt and drizzle with olive oil on both sides. Brown the steak for a couple of minutes on each side. Turn down the heat to medium. Add the Dr Pepper and smokey BBQ sauce and a good pinch of pepper. Stir and bring to a simmer. Place in the oven and cook, covered, for 3 hours or until the beef is falling apart. Pull beef with two forks and mix into the sauce.
Half way through the beef cooking, prick each sweet potato a few times with a fork, drizzle each with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap individually in foil and place onto a baking tray. Cook in the oven for 1.5 hours or until potatoes are soft.
To serve, unwrap potatoes and place onto a serving plate. Slice the potato crossways to open, spread with butter, sprinkle evenly with the cheese, top with pulled beef, add a big dollop of sour cream and garnish with chopped chives and pickled jalapenos.
