Meal Prep Ideas Using Flank Steak
Sharing a few meal prep ideas using flank steak for breakfast, lunch, and dinner using batch-cooked steak to make meal planning a breeze! I am a compensated member of the 2016 Beef Expert Bureau. I love and enjoy lean beef as part of my fit and active lifestyle. As always, all opinions are my own.
Meal Prep is a life-saver for me during the week. It also helps me nail my lean eating goals, so I’ll have no problem getting into beast-mode during my workouts. 😉 I put together a few meal prep ideas using flank steak that we batch cook on the weekend. It gives a nice protein boost to your recipes and it reheats beautifully without getting tough. We grill the flank steak to medium-rare. That way, when it’s reheated, it comes out perfectly cooked for the next meal. Always reheat on a low heat setting for best results and more tender meat.
In case you missed my Best Flank Steak Marinade, you’ll want to be sure and grab that recipe. It’s a family favorite, super easy and so good!!
Why do I love flank steak? Well, for starters, it’s full of muscle-building protein and minerals, like iron and zinc. It’s also a versatile lean cut of beef. Other lean cuts that I use often are top sirloin and strip steak. I also love a good filet mignon when I want to splurge.
Meal Prep Ideas Using Cooked Flank Steak
This egg scramble is one of my go-to breakfast meals. I switch up the extra protein, but steak gives it loads of flavor and adds a nice contrast to the texture of the soft eggs. Try adding ghost pepper salt to your scrambled eggs. It’s so good, I put that s@*t on everything!
Flank Steak Breakfast Recipe
If you want to jazz it up, top it with your favorite salsa and a little hot sauce. I’m, personally, addicted to green Tabasco and Cholula sauce!

Flank Steak Dinner Ideas

I’ve also used an extra-large sheet pan and roasted the red potatoes and brussels sprouts together on one pan. Not only did it make clean-up easier, but it was super easy to prep. Slice the potatoes into chunks about the same size as the brussels sprouts, you’ll want to slice those in half. Toss them separately in a few tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and spread out onto the pan. Drizzle the brussels sprouts with a good quality balsamic vinegar and season both potatoes and sprouts with kosher salt and pepper. Roast at 400 degrees F for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to cook evenly.
Now you’ve got several days worth of healthy meals ready to go and less time spent in the kitchen during the week!
Meal prep=lean eating success!
