1 tbsp peanut oil
1kg sweet potato, peeled and chopped
1 Lebanese cucumber, sliced

Place sweet potato in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Place on high heat and bring to the boil. Cook for 20 minutes or until softened. Drain well, then return to the pan over low heat and mash well. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and set aside to keep warm. Thread marinated beef on to metal skewers. Heat a chargrill pan over medium heat, cook skewers for 2 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking. Cover with foil and rest for 5 minutes. Combine cucumber, cabbage, snow peas, sesame oil and black sesames in a bowl and serve with the mashed sweet potato, skewers and the peanut sauce.
