Whole30 Steak Bites with Sweet Potatoes and Peppers

Recipe by Our Salty Kitchen

These Whole30 steak bites are a fast, filling and nutritious weeknight dinner made in one pan and ready in less than 45 minutes.

Ingredients

• 1 large sweet potato (about 12 ounces) (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 onions (thinly sliced)
• 2 tbsp coconut aminos
• 2 tsp cracked black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro

Method

1. 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. Stir once halfway through. The potatoes are ready when you can piece one with the tip of a knife and meet just a bit of resistance. Take care not to overcook at this stage or they'll turn out mushy later.
2. Heat a 12” 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 the pieces are browned and the center is medium, about 10 minutes. Remove the steak from the skillet using a slotted spoon and set aside onto a plate. 
3. 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.
4. Make a well in the center of the pan and add the garlic. Sautee, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Add the bell pepper and scallions and toss with the potatoes. Sautee, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are bite tender, 3-4 minutes. 
6. 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.
7. Add the pepper and cilantro, toss, and remove from heat. Portion onto plates, top with additional fresh cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
