Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Heat Guide for Step 4 (dbl for 4 ppl): 1 tsp mild, 1 1/2 tsp medium, 2 tsp spicy and 1 tbsp extra-spicy! Thinly slice celery crosswise. Core, then cut peppers into 1-inch pieces. Thinly slice green onions. Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Add peppers, half the Cajun Spice Blend and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Roast in the top of the oven until tender-crisp, 14-16 min.
Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then beef.
