Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1 large sweet potato (about 12 ounces), diced into 1″ pieces
  • 1 tsp sea or kosher salt

Steak

  • 1 lb flat iron steak, diced into 1” pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 2 tsp cracked black pepper

Vegetables and Seasonings

  • 3 tbsp olive oil (total, divided)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 bell peppers, seeded and diced into 1” pieces
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Place the diced sweet potatoes into a microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt, cover with a plate, and microwave on high for 4-6 minutes until just tender. Stir halfway through. The potatoes are done when a knife pierces with slight resistance, being careful not to overcook to avoid mushiness.
  2. Cook Steak: Heat a 12-inch skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the steak pieces in a single layer and cook, turning every two minutes, until browned and medium in the center, about 10 minutes total. Remove the steak with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate.
  3. Brown Sweet Potatoes: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the microwaved sweet potatoes, toss to coat with oil, and cook until browned and crispy, stirring occasionally, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Sauté Garlic: Create a well in the center of the pan and add the minced garlic. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. Add Peppers and Scallions: Add diced bell peppers and sliced green onions to the skillet. Toss with sweet potatoes and sauté until the peppers are tender but still slightly crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Combine and Finish: Return the cooked steak and its juices to the skillet. Add 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos and toss everything together. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the liquid evaporates and flavors meld.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Stir in cracked black pepper and fresh chopped cilantro. Remove from heat, divide onto plates, garnish with additional cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overcook the sweet potatoes in the microwave; slightly undercooked potatoes will finish cooking in the skillet without becoming mushy.
  • Flat iron steak is recommended for its tenderness and flavor, but you can substitute with sirloin or skirt steak if preferred.
  • Coconut aminos can be replaced with soy sauce or tamari for a different flavor profile.
  • Adjust black pepper to taste; freshly cracked pepper adds brightness.
  • For extra heat, consider adding red pepper flakes when sautéing the garlic.
