Pre-heat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, toss the diced yams and potatoes with the extra virgin olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Place oiled and seasoned yams and potatoes on a non-stick cookie sheet and place in pre-heated oven. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until well browned.

While potatoes are baking, place a large sauté pan on stove. Set heat to high and add vegetable oil. Wait 1 minute for vegetable oil to get hot and then add Bison steak tips all at once, stirring well as to prevent sticking. Season well with salt and pepper. On high heat, continue sautéing and stirring for 2 1/2 - 3 minutes. Reduce to medium-high heat and remove Bison steak tips with slotted spoon.

Place on serving platter and keep warm. In same sauté pan, add onions and cook until translucent. Reduce to medium-low heat and add remaining ingredients stirring well to coat. Cook until apples are just warm - careful not to overcook as you will end up with applesauce. Turn off heat and keep warm. To serve, plate roasted yams and red-skinned potatoes with sautéed Bison steak tips and top with onion and apple mixture.
