Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Peppers
- 1 lb. steak (such as sirloin or tenderloin), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced
- 1 bell pepper (green), sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
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 evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and have a golden-brown color.
- Cook the Steak Bites: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to get a nice sear on the steak.
- Season the Steak: Season the steak pieces with onion powder, salt, and pepper evenly before adding them to the skillet for cooking.
- Sear the Steak: Add the seasoned steak bites to the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness (medium-rare to medium recommended).
- Add Peppers: Once the steak is almost cooked through, add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté them together for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peppers are tender but still crisp.
- Combine with Sweet Potatoes: Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and add them to the skillet with the steak and peppers. Stir everything together gently to blend the flavors.
- Garnish: Take the skillet off the heat, drizzle with extra olive oil if desired, and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
- Serve: Plate the steak bites, sweet potatoes, and peppers mixture immediately while warm to enjoy a robust and colorful meal.
Notes
- For best results, choose a tender cut of steak such as sirloin or tenderloin.
- Adjust the seasoning amounts according to your taste preferences.
- You can swap bell peppers with any other favorite vegetables if desired.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet when searing steak to ensure a good crust.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
