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)

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

  • 1 bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced
  • 1 bell pepper (green), sliced

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: extra olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure even and thorough cooking for the sweet potatoes.
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated, ensuring each piece is flavorful.
  3. Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through for even roasting.
  4. Cook the Steak Bites: While the sweet potatoes roast, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for searing the steak.
  5. Season the Steak: Season the steak pieces with onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste, ensuring each bite is well seasoned.
  6. Sear the Steak: Add the seasoned steak into the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until the steak is browned and cooked to medium-rare or medium doneness according to your preference.
  7. Add Peppers: When the steak is nearly cooked, toss in the sliced red/yellow and green bell peppers. Sauté together for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peppers soften slightly but remain crisp.
  8. Combine with Sweet Potatoes: Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and transfer them into the skillet with the steak and peppers. Gently stir to combine all the ingredients, letting the flavors meld.
  9. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Drizzle with extra olive oil if desired and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top to brighten the dish.
  10. Serve: Plate the steak bites mixed with sweet potatoes and peppers, and serve immediately to enjoy this hearty, flavorful meal.
