Ingredients

  • 8 oz dried beef
  • 2 medium sweet potato
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel and dice the 2 sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Dice the 1 onion and mince the 2 garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet potato cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown at the edges, about 8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the 8 oz dried beef and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the beef is heated through and slightly crispy, about 3 minutes. Serve hot.

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed, though the beef is often salty enough.
