Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 1 lb. steak (such as sirloin or tenderloin), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking steak)
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Peppers and Garnish
- 1 red or yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure the sweet potatoes roast evenly and become tender and golden.
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until they are well coated with the seasoning.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until tender and browned.
- Heat the Skillet: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the steak.
- Season the Steak: Season the bite-sized steak pieces with onion powder, salt, and pepper evenly before cooking.
- Sear the Steak: Add the steak pieces to the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked to your preferred doneness (medium-rare to medium recommended).
- Add the Peppers: Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet with the steak and sauté together for 2-3 minutes until the peppers are slightly tender but still crisp.
- Combine Sweet Potatoes: Once the sweet potatoes are finished roasting, add them to the skillet with the steak and peppers. Stir everything together gently to combine all flavors.
- Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Optionally drizzle with a bit more olive oil and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh burst of flavor.
- Serve: Plate the steak bites, sweet potatoes, and peppers immediately for a delicious, hearty dish.
Notes
- For medium-rare steak, cook for closer to 3 minutes per side, adjusting time according to thickness and preference.
- You can substitute olive oil with avocado oil for a higher smoke point if desired.
- Feel free to use any color bell peppers or add other vegetables like onions or mushrooms.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet to maintain texture.
- To make this dish gluten-free, ensure that all seasonings used do not contain gluten.
