This was just so different and so delicious. I'm so happy I tried it! It was hearty, healthy and so fun! I used our air fryer to make the "french fries" which saves a ton of time. Can't wait to make this again. Skinnytaste has a TON of great recipes if you are ever in a rut. They're all rated by tons of cooks, so you can tell when you've got a good one and when you go to print, you can adjust how many serving sizes you want and it auto-updates in the recipe.

For the Baked Fries: (I made these in the air fryer and saved TONS of time)
- canola cooking spray
- 1 medium, 5.3 oz potato, russet or yukon gold, washed and dried
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Beef:
- 1/2 lb lean sirloin, cut into small, thin strips
- kosher salt, to taste
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 medium red onion, sliced into thick strips
- 2 mini yellow bell peppers or 1 large
- 1 large jalapeno, ribbed and seeded, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 medium tomato, sliced into wedges
- 1 1/2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, use tamari for gluten free and coconut aminos for whole30
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Cut the potato lengthwise into 1/3-inch thick slices; cut each slice into 1/3-inch fries. Place on the baking sheet and toss with oil to evenly coat. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Place on a single layer onto the greased baking sheet.
- Bake uncovered on the lower third of the oven for about 25 minutes or until tender crisp and golden.
- Meanwhile, season meat with salt, pepper and cumin.
- Heat a large wok over high heat. When hot add the oil and the steak, cook about 2 minutes, until browned on both sides. Add the onions, bell pepper, jalapeno and garlic and cook 2 minutes. Add the tomato, soy sauce and vinegar and cook 1 more minute. Season with more salt as needed, remove from heat and finish with cilantro.
- Serve immediately with french fries and divide evenly between 2 plates.
