Garlic Herb Sirloin Steak & Green Bean Meal Prep Bowl with roasted baby potatoes, sirloin strips and green beans in a speckled cream bowl

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

4 servings

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

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the rosemary and roast cut-side down 25 to 30 minutes, until crisp.

  2. Season the steak with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat and sear 4 minutes per side, to 130°F (54°C). Add the butter in the last minute and baste. Rest 10 minutes and slice thinly.

  3. In the same pan over medium-high heat, add the remaining oil and the green beans and cook 5 to 6 minutes until blistered. Add the garlic and remaining salt for 1 minute.

  4. Divide potatoes, green beans and steak among 4 containers and cool before sealing.
