#kevinsrecipechallenge
Moroccan Peppercorn Steak & Sweet Potato will have your guests thinking you spent all day in the kitchen. With the helping hands from Kevin’s Natural Foods Peppercorn Steak Tips you will have this dish on the table in minutes. I’m one of 30 qualified food bloggers that are taking on Kevin’s Natural Foods Recipe Challenge. Each of the products I received are carefully made and prepared using a gourmet cooking technique called “sous-vide”.
Sous vide, which means “under vacuum” in French, refers to the process of vacuum-sealing food in a bag, cooking the contents to a very precise temperature in a water bath. This technique creates results that are impossible to achieve through any other cooking method.

Peppercorn Steak Tips
I chose to work with Korean BBQ Style Chicken, Peppercorn Steak Tips, Roasted Garlic Chicken and Thai Style Coconut Chicken. This round, Peppercorn Steak Tips are made into a quick version of a slow simmer Moroccan dish. This is my Paleo entry for the contest.
Kevin’s Natural Food does all of the slow simmer of the steak tips during the sous-vide method so you won’t have to. A little chopping of some fresh ingredients and you are on your way to Morocco.
My pro tip for cooking with fresh pearl onions: Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. No need to salt the water. Cut the root end off of the pearl onions and boil for 1 minute. Strain and drop into cold water. You are now ready to peel.
Squeeze each onion so the peel slides off. So easy and so worth the step. If you have never had fresh pearl onions, please try them now. They are mild in onion flavor and slightly sweet. Just look at those pearls.
If fresh pearl onions are not available you can substitute frozen pearl onions that have been thawed.
So what’s up with the two tubers pictured above. One is orange and the other is white. Hmmmm! So many call each tuber by a different name. I’ll cut to the chase and tell you what I have come to know about each. The orange tuber is commonly called a yam and the white fleshed one is called a sweet potato. Stores are notorious for calling them both sweet potatoes. If you have grown up knowing them as something different, it’s ok. I just want you to know which tuber I used in this recipe…the white flesh sweet potato. Why, because the white fleshed sweet potato holds its shape more like a regular potato. I find yams to be more fiberous and cook into a very soft texture. But either way, both will work great and taste fabulous.
