Paleo Diet Recipes Steak Skillet With Bell Peppers

If you ever need to win a speed-cooking contest, this is the recipe to save for the occasion. Meat, vegetables, and fat, all in one pan with minimal prep and cooking time – and yet, somehow it comes out delicious (that’s the magic of using fresh, whole foods to cook with: you don’t actually need a bunch of fancy prep work!). There’s not even a marinade to worry about; you can pull everything out of the fridge at the last minute and have dinner ready in just a few minutes.

It’s also a recipe that would be very easy to adapt depending on what you have handy. No bell peppers? Use mushrooms, broccoli, cooking greens, or anything else you can toss in a skillet. No flank steak? Substitute anything else you can slice into bite-size pieces.

If you’d like some starch to go with your meal, just toss a potato or sweet potato in the microwave when you start cooking the meat: it’ll be ready to go with the rest of your meal, with almost no effort required. For the travelers in the audience, this is also a recipe that refrigerates (or even freezes) and re-heats very well: you can make a double recipe for dinner and take the leftovers for lunch the next day. In fact, you could even call it breakfast; there’s no rule that breakfast has to be “breakfast food,” and a big pile of steak and vegetables might be just the thing to help you start the day off on the right foot.
