Add the steak tips, balsamic vinegar, coconut aminos and garlic into a large bowl
Stir to combine and cover with cling wrap. Let marinate while you prepare the other ingredients

Cut the potatoes in half and add them to a medium saucepan, cover with cold water and add 1 tsp salt
Bring to a boil and cook until they become just slightly tender (about 10-15 minutes) and then drain
Once they are dry, toss them with the salt, dried rosemary, dried thyme, dried parsley, garlic powder and pepper
Heat 1 Tbls of the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add in the potatoes in an even layer and let crisp up on one side and then stir to crisp up the other sides (about 5 minutes total)

Wash and trim the asparagus (I cut about 1/2 inch off the bottom)
Carefully wipe the pan and add 1 Tbls of the oil and keep heat at medium
Add in the asparagus and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Squeeze lemon over it, stir and remove from the pan
Carefully wipe out the pan again (I use a paper towel) and then add in the remaining 1 Tbls of oil. Turn heat to medium/high
Use a slotted spoon to take the steak bites out of the marinade and add to the pan in an even layer. You might have to do this in batches, because you don't want to overcrowd the pan
Cook the steak bites for 2 minutes on one side and then flip for another 1-2 minutes. They should get nice and browned and caramelized, but you don't want to overcook them. Add a pinch of salt and pepper (about 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper) to taste and remove from the pan
Serve with the crispy potatoes and asparagus
