This vibrant stir-fry combines tender beef strips with sweet potatoes, colorful peppers, and onions, resulting in a deliciously balanced meal that's both hearty and healthy.

Steps

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the beef strips and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet, and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Return the beef to the skillet, add soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine and heat through.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Tips for Sweet Potato Beef Stir-Fry

Cut the sweet potato into evenly sized, small cubes so the pieces cook at a similar pace.
A broad skillet helps the ingredients brown rather than crowd and steam; cook in batches if needed.
The beef should look browned outside and remain tender; prolonged cooking can make thin strips chewy.

Drink pairing

A medium-bodied red like a Rioja
Its savory, fruit-forward character complements the browned beef and balances the sweet potato.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the sweet potato is tender?

A fork should slide into a cube easily, while the pieces still hold their shape.

Can I prepare anything ahead?

Peel and dice the sweet potato and slice the onion and pepper shortly before cooking; keep the cut vegetables covered in the refrigerator until needed.
