My Favorite Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Dinner

It has a TON of flavor and it’s so filling which is perfect for those busy days when you get home late and need to whip something up that will satisfy your cravings and nourish your body with the nutrients it needs – you can find this in the Chicken section!
Another dish that I cannot get enough of is the Philly Cheesesteak Skillet, pictured above. It’s classic American comfort food, without the bread or cheese! Tender strips of steak and vegetables are coated in my delicious dairy-free cheese sauce! It’s absolutely amazing!

20 Easy 30-Minute Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Dinners: Philly Cheesesteak Skillet
Ingredients
DAIRY-FREE CHEESE SAUCE
- 1 ½ cups white sweet potato peeled and chopped 1-inch thick
- filtered water
- 5 oz. unsweetened coconut yogurt (additive-free)
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp garlic powder
STEAK AND VEGGIES
- 1- 1 ½ pounds skirt steak rinsed and patted dry
- 1 tsp sea salt plus more to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 yellow or white onion sliced thin
- 1 green bell pepper sliced thin
- 1 red bell pepper sliced thin
Instructions:
- Make the dairy-free cheese sauce. Add chopped sweet potato and enough filtered water to cover, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender for approx. 10-12 minutes and drain. Add sweet potato to a high-speed blender with coconut yogurt, nutritional yeast, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth, adding water as needed to loosen (no more than ¼ cup or so should be fine).
- Make the steak and veggies. Slice steak thinly into strips with a sharp knife and season generously with sea salt and pepper.
- Heat a cast iron skillet on medium-high heat, and add 1 tablespoon olive oil, once shimmering add onion and peppers. Season with 1 tsp sea salt and saute for 5 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove the vegetables from the skillet and add another tablespoon of olive oil to the hot skillet. Once shimmering again, add the sliced steak and stir with a wooden spoon to coat in the oil. Let cook until crispy, at least 2 minutes per side (the steak will release liquids, cook it beyond that as the liquids reabsorb).
- Add vegetables back into the skillet and continue cooking together so the flavors can meld for 30 seconds more or until everything is cooked to your liking. Turn heat off and drizzle the cheese sauce over the skillet and serve hot. Store excess cheese sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
