Steak for meal prep works best cooked to medium-rare and sliced thin, so reheating brings it to medium rather than well-done. Baby potatoes roasted until crisp stand in for the grain.
Why this recipe works
Cooking the steak slightly under your preferred doneness accounts for reheating. Roasting potatoes cut-side down gives a flat, crisp surface.
Ingredient notes
USDA recommends 145°F (63°C) with a 3-minute rest for whole cuts. The steak will reach medium when reheated.
Common mistakes
- Cooking the steak well-done before meal prep.
- Crowding the potatoes.

Ingredients
You’ll need: rimmed sheet pan; cast-iron skillet; 4 meal prep containers; instant-read thermometer
