Notes

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 lb top sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter (or more olive oil for Whole30)
  • 1 large shallot, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 bell peppers, seeded and diced
  • ½ cup green onions, chopped (divided)
  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped (divided)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos for Whole30)
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
 

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Sweet Potatoes:
    Wash and scrub sweet potatoes. Dice into 1-inch cubes. Place in a microwave-safe bowl, sprinkle with 1 tsp salt, and microwave for 2 minutes. Stir and microwave for another 2 minutes until just starting to soften. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Steak:
    Season steak cubes with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Heat a large skillet over high heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. Once hot, add steak in a single layer. Sear for about 2 minutes per side (4–6 minutes total). Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Veggies:
    Return skillet to medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. Sauté shallot, garlic, and pre-softened sweet potatoes for about 5–6 minutes until sweet potatoes are golden. Add bell peppers and cook another 4–6 minutes.
  4. Bring It Together:
    Return the steak (with any juices) to the skillet. Add soy sauce (or coconut aminos), half the green onions, and half the cilantro. Mix and cook a few more minutes until everything is well combined and cooked to your liking.
  5. Finish & Serve:
    Top with remaining cilantro and green onions. Add fresh cracked black pepper to taste.
