If you’ve spent any length of time on here, you know how obsessed we are with meal prep. Need proof?
Here are several easy meal prep recipes:
- Meal Prep Southwest Chicken Burrito Bowls
- Paleo Turkey Meatballs Meal Prep Bowls
- Paleo Slow Cooker Jerk Chicken Meal Prep Bowls
- Vegan Meal Prep Black Bean Quinoa Bowls
Yeah. Just a little obsessed. Why?? Personally, it’s because meal prep is one of the only ways I tend to stay on track when I’m trying to eat really healthy! But it also saves a ton of time during busy weekdays.
I think we can all relate to the after work “what am I going to eat for dinner” rush! Sometimes it’s easier to just drive through somewhere or eat junk. Trust me, we’ve all been there! This is coming from the girl who used to eat lucky charms for dinner because she was too busy/tired to cook and didn’t want to spend money on eating out. Plus…I mean….LUCKY CHARMS. C’mon! They’ll always have a special place in my heart.
All that to say, you’re not alone, friend!

What to serve with steak & potatoes? Broccoli, of course!
Or any other type of green vegetable. Broccoli just happens to be one of my faves 😉 Seasoned to perfection with my favorite veggie seasoning! A green vegetable (or really any veggie) balances these Steak & Potatoes Meal Prep Bowls and makes them perfect for a quick and easy dinner or on-the-go lunch!
A couple of notes about this recipe:
1. I made the steak & potatoes in the slow cooker! I’m all about slow cooker recipes these days. This is the programmable slow cooker that I use and love!
2. I cooked the steak about 75% of the way and then added in the potatoes. However, you can also make this entire recipe in the oven (or simply place the potatoes in the oven for a crispier texture)!
Here’s how to make these Steak & Potatoes Meal Prep Bowls!
Steak & Potatoes Meal Prep Bowls
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak

- Steam the broccoli and season.

Whoever isn’t obsessed with meal prepping needs to be! I mean these look amazing! Everyone at work would be jealous of your lunch bringing these in!

Thanks, Jenn! 🙂
Sarah says:
Please make these for my oldest! Since her and my husband are the only ones that eat steak and not that often and right now he can’t have it and really shouldn’t in the future it leaves her the only one and she just asked for it. Since these are meal prep I just realized I could easily make up a few for her and she can pull them out on our crazy nights or leftover nights when we eat at different times.
Christine McMichael replied:
Haha, that’s awesome! I hope she enjoys the recipe!
Anvita says:
I love the idea of meal prep bowls. They come in so handy. I am going to check out a few more of your meal prep bowls.
Christine McMichael replied:
I agree, Anvita! 🙂 Thank you, enjoy!
Karyn says:
I just bought a slow cooker!!! This is the perfect recipe to try out. It looks very delicious
Christine McMichael replied:
Oh, perfect! You’ll have to let me know how it turns out!
Marisa Franca @ All Our Way says:
What a great idea. Homemade frozen dinner or refrigerator dinners. There is that saying “fail to prepare; prepare to fail.” Most times falling off of a healthy eating plan is a matter of not having the right foods ready. You’ve got the right idea.
Christine McMichael replied:
Thanks, Marisa! I definitely agree. Prepping is the only way I stay on track!
Alisa Fleming says:
These are SO going on our menu. This meal has my husband’s name written all over it and I really need to start doing some meal prep.
Christine McMichael replied:
YAY! I hope you guys enjoy it, Alisa!

I am so jealous of your meal prep abilities, ha! I need to take some lessons from you. These look great!
Christine McMichael replied:
Haha, thanks Stephanie!
Laura says:
I’m not a huge steak person but I’d totally sub chicken or tofu and eat these beauties all week long! I really need to get better at meal prepping! My fourth baby made spending time in the kitchen a little harder to come by! 😉
Joanna @ Everyday Made Fresh says:
Steak and potatoes? This is my kind of meal prep bowl! Normally they are filled with chicken.
Deryn | Running on Real Food says:
I don’t know how I’d make it without at least some meal prep, I think it’s sooo important in making it easy to maintain a healthy diet. I tend to prep ingredients rather than meals but it’s seriously a life saver during the week!
Jordan says:
These would so hit the spot for lunch today! Definitely adding these to my meal prep rotation.
