4. Once wood charcoal turns grey, add to grill pit
5. Oil grates with paper towel doused in olive oil and large tong
6. Add sweet potato steak fries onto grates and cook 5-7 minutes per side over high heat or until fries begin to darken (obviously before they turn black and burn)
7. Then move sweet potato fries to medium zone to cook for another 5 minutes per side
8. Remove from grill and add a little extra olive oil, salt and pepper
9. Ready to serve!
