When it comes to flavor-packed, high-performance meals, nothing satisfies quite like our steak meal prep. For this week, we’re showcasing our Ancho Diced Steak—a client favorite that brings together bold spices, fresh vegetables, and careful preparation.
At Meal Prep Sunday, we understand that food isn’t just fuel—it forms the foundation of your lifestyle. Whether you’re training hard, managing a hectic work schedule, or simply looking to eat well without stress, this steak meal offers the perfect solution. Moreover, it balances taste, convenience, and performance in every bite.
Why Steak Meal Prep Is a Client Favorite
Steak meals have long been a go-to for those focused on protein, energy, and satiety. However, we go beyond simply cooking steak—we create a full, chef-designed dish that supports your goals while keeping your taste buds excited.
Specifically, our Ancho Diced Steak meal prep is built around three core principles:
- Flavor-forward cooking using chef-crafted marinades and sauces
- Balanced macros designed for performance
- Convenient prep that saves you time every week
Now, let’s walk through how we build this meal, step by step.
Tuesday: Building the Flavor Foundation
First, we start with the chipotle lime marinade:
Chipotle Lime Marinade:
To create depth and balance, we blend:
- Chipotle chiles
- Light chili powder
- Fresh lime juice
- Cilantro
- Cumin and coriander
- Brown sugar, salt, and a splash of orange juice
Then, we mix everything until smooth using industrial-grade hand mixers. In addition, this marinade provides smoky heat that balances the citrus notes, giving the steak bold, layered flavor.
Next, we move on to the cilantro crema:
Cilantro Crema Sauce:
We combine:
- Sour cream and yogurt
- Fresh cilantro and jalapeño
- Cumin, coriander, and lime juice
As a result, we create a silky, tangy sauce that complements the steak perfectly. Furthermore, it adds a cooling contrast to the dish, balancing the smoky heat.
Finally, we prepare the salsa matcha:
Salsa Matcha:
Made with:
- Ancho, guajillo, and arbol chiles
- Garlic, peanuts, sesame
- Salad oil, apple cider vinegar
- Dried oregano and sea salt
Afterward, we fold this thick, spicy paste into the vegetable skillet, layering bold flavor throughout the meal.
Wednesday: Cooking the Sides for Balance
Once the sauces are ready, we focus on sides to complement the steak.
Cilantro Scallion Rice:
First, we cook a fresh batch of long-grain white rice with chicken stock, chopped scallions, cilantro, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of oil. Then, we cook it evenly in our Rational ovens. Finally, we chill it rapidly to lock in nutrients, texture, and moisture.
Vegetable Skillet with Matcha Sauce:
Next, we sauté bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, and corn. Then, we fold in the matcha salsa from Tuesday. By cooking in batches on our tilt skillet, we ensure even doneness and consistent flavor for every client.
Thursday: Cooking and Assembling the Steak Meal Prep
After marinating for 48 hours, the steak is ready to cook.
Grilling the Steak:
First, we grill diced steak to a juicy medium, about 145°F internal temperature. Next, we brush each batch with more ancho marinade to amplify the flavor before cooling.
Plating the Meals:
Afterward, we assemble each steak bowl:
- A base of cilantro scallion rice
- A layer of vegetable skillet
- Juicy ancho diced steak
- A sauce cup of cilantro crema
Finally, we seal the meals using MAP technology, which removes oxygen to preserve freshness for the week ahead.
The Nutritional Edge of Our Steak Meal Prep
Furthermore, every steak meal delivers:
- Lean protein from premium steak
- Complex carbs from rice and vegetables
- Healthy fats from cilantro crema and salsa matcha
In addition, by sourcing local, organic, farm-fresh ingredients, we ensure you fuel your body with meals you can trust. Moreover, the combination of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs supports muscle recovery, sustained energy, and overall performance.
More Than Just a Meal: A Full-Service Solution
Ultimately, our steak meal prep isn’t just a recipe—it’s a solution. Specifically, Meal Prep Sunday clients don’t just eat better—they feel better, move better, and focus better. Why?
- First, you save hours each week: no shopping, prepping, or cleaning.

Why This Steak Meal Stands Out
Although steak is a classic, Meal Prep Sunday elevates it into something extraordinary. By combining spicy, smoky, and savory elements with fresh vegetables and smart sauces, the Ancho Diced Steak Meal creates a performance-driven experience. Moreover, with our weekly rotating lineup, there’s always something exciting (and delicious) on the way.
