Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 beef sirloins chopped into 1 in cubes
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or similar cooking oil
- 6-7 medium-size potatoes diced
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 1/8 cup black olives
- Green onions
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Sea salt pepper, paprika and cumin
Instructions
- Heat a large, 12" skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the butter and allow it to melt fully.
- Add the steaks to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes. This is for medium rare; adjust the cook time for your desired doneness. Add the garlic while the steak is cooking and season with salt and pepper. (teaspoon each of salt and pepper)
- After the steaks have cooked, remove them from the skillet to a casserole dish.
- Without cleaning the skillet, add in coconut oil, potatoes, and chopped yellow onion—season with salt, paprika, and cumin.
- Cook potatoes until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
- When the potatoes are done, add them to the casserole dish with the steak. Stir in olives and green onions and top with cheese.
- Allow the cheese to melt before serving.
Notes
- Throw the casserole dish in the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese quickly.
- Choose a high-quality steak. The cut so much is not as important as where the meat came from. Whenever possible, try to find a local meat source.
- To prevent the potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the skillet, avoid stirring them until a crispy crust forms. Once a crust has formed, you can gently stir the potatoes to ensure even cooking.
- Feel free to use any kind of cheese you like.
- You can also add in frozen veggies such as broccoli, peas, or green beans. (just wait until the potatoes are cooked through first)
