Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
- 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 small onion, chopped
Seasonings and Oils
- 2 tbsp olive oil or cooking oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheating the Griddle: Start by preheating your Blackstone griddle or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, pour in the olive oil and allow it to heat up for a minute to ensure a nice sear on all ingredients.
- Cooking the Potatoes: Add the thinly sliced Yukon gold potatoes to the griddle. Cook them, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes until they begin to brown and soften, providing great texture.
- Adding the Vegetables: Toss in the chopped onions and red bell peppers with the potatoes. Continue cooking and stirring every few minutes for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften and their colors brighten the dish.
- Incorporating the Sausage and Zucchini: Add the sliced smoked sausage and zucchini rounds. Stir everything together and cook for 5-7 minutes until the sausage is heated through and the vegetables are tender with a lovely char.
- Seasoning the Stir Fry: Sprinkle the garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, red pepper flakes (if using), and oregano evenly over the stir fry. Toss well to blend all the flavors beautifully.
- Final Taste Test: Taste the stir fry and adjust seasonings as needed. Cook for another 2 minutes to let the spices meld and intensify the aroma and flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from heat and serve the stir fry warm. Enjoy this easy, hearty cowboy stir fry perfect for a cozy and flavorful weeknight meal.
Notes
- Use a Blackstone griddle for the best sear and flavor, but a large skillet works well too.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to control the heat level or omit for a milder dish.
- For a gluten-free option, verify that the smoked sausage contains no gluten additives.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated thoroughly before serving.
- You can substitute smoked sausage with kielbasa or chorizo for different flavor profiles.
