Steak Bites with Sweet Potatoes and Peppers


  • Author: Maria
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need to create these mouthwatering steak bites:

  • For the Steak Bites:
    • 1 pound of sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Sweet Potatoes and Peppers:
    • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
    • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
    • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional Garnish:
    • Fresh parsley, chopped
    • Lime wedges for squeezing

Instructions

  • Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that your sweet potatoes and peppers roast to perfection!
  • Prepare the Vegetables:
    • In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes and sliced bell peppers with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is evenly coated.
    • Spread the veggies in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps them roast evenly and prevents sticking.
  • Roast the Vegetables:
    • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes. Halfway through, give them a good stir to ensure even cooking. You want the sweet potatoes to be tender and slightly caramelized, and the peppers to be vibrant and soft.
  • Season the Steak:
    • While the veggies are roasting, it’s time to season the steak. In a medium bowl, combine the steak pieces with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the steak bites evenly with the seasonings.
  • Sear the Steak Bites:
    • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned steak bites in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
    • Remember, don’t overcrowd the skillet! Giving the steak enough space ensures a beautiful sear.
  • Combine Everything:
    • Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender bites.
    • Once the sweet potatoes and peppers are ready, remove them from the oven and mix in the steak bites. Toss everything together to combine the flavors.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    • Transfer the steak bites, sweet potatoes, and peppers to a serving platter. For an extra touch, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty kick.
