Steak Ingredients:
1 medium eggplant
oil
liquid smoke
Montreal steak seasoning
Pulled 'pork'n'beans Ingredients:
1 small sweet potato, shredded
1 can pinto beans, rinsed
4 tbsp your favorite (vegan if you choose) BBQ sauce
*liquid smoke, onion powder, garlic powder to your liking...
Slice eggplant to a thickness of about a 1/4 inch. Sprinkle with salt on both sides and let 'sweat' for about 30 minutes (this part isn't necessary, but the more liquid that remains in the eggplant, the longer it will take to cook on the grill & the mushier it will taste).
Once you've blotted your eggplant with a paper towel, brush each side lightly with olive oil, and on one side, brush with liquid smoke, the other side, sprinkle with steak seasoning!
Grill on medium heat for about 4 minutes on each side. (I also sliced up some potatoes to throw on the grill - as seen pictured above)
Meanwhile, mix the ingredients for the pulled pork on the stove top, and let cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes - stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
Serve either together or separately!
