Quick recipe steps:
1. Start your BBQ with our firestarters. Let the BBQ rise to 250 degrees Celsius.
2. Boil the sweet potatoes in a pan with water for 15 minutes, peel off the skin, cut in thick slices and place the potatoes in an oven dish.
3. Finely chop the spring onion, red onion, red pepper, parsley, oregano and garlic, grate the lemon zest.
4. Divide the bacon strips, spring onion and grated old cheese over the sweet potato and bake for 30 minutes with the barbecue closed.
5. Meanwhile, mix all the fresh herbs, red onion, red pepper, garlic and lemon zest with the Not Just BBQ chimichurri herbs and a few tablespoons of oil and balsamic vinegar to taste, let all the flavors infuse for an extra spicy bite.
6. Let the côte de boeuf come to room temperature for at least 1 hour. Pat the meat dry with kitchen paper.
7. Sprinkle generously with the Not Just BBQ Coffee rub. Cover all sides well.
8. Grill until golden brown directly on the gril.
9. Reduce the temperature of the bbq to 160 degrees Celsius
10. Add smoking wood between the coals at that time. Our chef used Cherry Woodchunks.
11. Grill the meat indirectly until you have a core temperature between 50-53 degrees C.
12. Let the meat rest enough, watch your cuisson or doneness because the meat will continue to cook a little before you cut it into super-thin slices. Serve with the chimichurri over the meat and the potatoes on the side. Enjoy!
