STEAK BITES WITH SWEET POTATOES AND PEPPERS

 1 large sweet potato, diced into 1” pieces
1 tsp sea or kosher salt
1 lb flat iron steak, diced into 1” pieces
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bell peppers, seeded and diced into 1” pieces
4 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp stir fry sauce
2 tsp cracked black pepper
2 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro


Place the diced sweet potatoes into a microwave safe bowl, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Cover with a plate and microwave on high until just barely tender, 4-6 minutes.

Heat a skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the steak in a single layer.

Cook, turning every two minutes, until browned and the center is medium, about 10 minutes. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside onto a plate.

Add the third tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add the sweet potatoes, toss to coat in the fat and cook until browned, stirring occasionally, until browned, 3-4 minutes.

Make a well in the center of the pan and add the garlic. Sautee, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the bell pepper and scallions and toss with the potatoes. Sautee, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are bite tender, 3-4 minutes.

Add the steak and juices back to the pan along with the coconut aminos. Toss all ingredients and cook an additional 1- 2 minutes until the liquid has evaporated.

Add the pepper and cilantro, toss, and remove from heat.

Portion onto plates, top with additional fresh cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
