1 medium onion, diced

Prep the Steak

In a large bowl, toss steak cubes with olive oil, paprika, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Let it sit while you prep the potatoes.

Add Cheese & beef

About 15–20 minutes before serving, sprinkle cheddar cheese and beef over the top. Cover again until cheese is melted.

Swap in sweet potatoes for a twist.

Add in chopped bell peppers or mushrooms for extra veggies.
