Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil or sesame oil, sea salt, and smoked paprika.

Spread sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

While sweet potatoes are baking, slice beef into thin strips and marinate with sesame oil, black pepper, and salt to taste for 15 minutes.

Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add marinated beef to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through.

Remove beef from skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add diced onions, chopped bell peppers, and minced garlic; stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.

Add the cooked sweet potatoes and beef back to the skillet.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and sesame seeds before serving.
