A delightful one-pan dish combining tender beef, crispy potatoes, and vibrant bell peppers for a quick and flavorful meal.
Partially cook the potatoes by boiling them in water or microwaving until slightly tender.
Microwaving the potatoes saves time and ensures they are evenly cooked.
In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic powder and ground black pepper.
Mixing the spices beforehand ensures even seasoning of the beef.
Toss the beef slices with the seasoning mix until well coated.
Let the seasoned beef rest for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding ingredients to achieve a good sear.
Add the beef to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until browned.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure the beef cooks evenly.
Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Cover the beef loosely with foil to keep it warm.
Add the bell pepper slices to the skillet and stir-fry for 3 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the peppers from burning.
Add the partially cooked potatoes to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes.
Press the potatoes lightly with the spatula to enhance browning.
Return the beef to the skillet and stir-fry until heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
A sprinkle of chopped parsley or cilantro adds a fresh touch.
