A flavorful one-pan dish with juicy steak bites, creamy sweet potatoes, and colorful bell peppers. Naturally gluten-free and easy to make Whole30 compliant.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Finish & Serve: Top with remaining cilantro and green onions. Add fresh cracked black pepper to taste.
