Published 7/29/2024 Today’s healthy Philly cheese steak recipe is made with our glorious cast iron skillet steak. For this recipe, we used flank steak because it cooks quickly and is rather inexpensive. Win-win. Making cast iron steak is very simple and doesn’t take that much time or require a lot of ingredients at all. With a few easy steps and tips, you can make these super-balanced steak meal prep bowls right in your own kitchen!
What do you need for these Philly cheesesteak bowls?
Flank steak – we chose flank steak for this recipe because it cooks quickly and still has tons of flavor. You could also use lean sirloin steak or skirt steak instead. Peppers and onions – keep it simple with green peppers and onions. Brown rice – any grain works! Kale salad – gotta add in those greens! Don’t forget to massage the kale to make it softer and easier to eat! If you don’t like raw kale, you can make these garlic roasted kale chips instead! Queso – If you do ONE thing in this recipe, it’s making our vegan queso as the “cheese” part of this recipe. Yes, it’s a little bit of work, but I promise you it adds SO MUCH FLAVOR and is so much better for you! It’s cashew-based and made with roasted veggies, nutritional yeast, and lots of spices. Just do it and thank me later.
I love how simple all of the flavors are in this meal and how balanced it is! You get your whole grain, veggies, lean protein, and healthy fats all in one meal.
How to Make Steak Meal Prep Bowls
Can I marinate the steak?
Absolutely! We don’t use a marinade for this recipe, but you’re welcome to use our favorite flank steak marinade!
Can I grill the steak instead of using a cast iron skillet?
Yes! We chose to use our cast iron because it was easier, but you can totally grill your steak for a more charred, smoky taste!
Can I swap out the sides?
Yes! If you’re not a fan of kale and brown rice, you can swap out the sides according to your preferences. I’d you want to make a low-carb meal, swap out the brown rice for zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice. If you’re not worried about the carbs, you can swap out the brown rice for roasted sweet potatoes, air fryer sweet potato fries, crispy roasted red potatoes, or cilantro lime rice! If you’re not a fan of kale, swap it out with other veggies like roasted Brussels sprouts, sautéed green beans, or honey balsamic roasted carrots.
How do I store these steak meal prep bowls?
You can store the bowls in the fridge for 3-4 days. After that, we recommend storing it in the freezer for 2-3 months so the steak doesn’t go bad.
