Step 1
Peel and dice the 2 sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Dice the 1 onion and mince the 2 garlic cloves.
Step 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.
Step 3
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Step 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.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed, though the beef is often salty enough.
