Ancho Diced Steak Meal Prep: How We Create This Client Favorite
Steak Meal Prep:
Bold Flavor, Balanced Nutrition
When it comes to flavor-packed, high-performance meals, nothing satisfies quite like our steak meal prep. This week, we’re showcasing our Ancho Diced Steak—a fan favorite that brings together bold spices, fresh vegetables, and thoughtful preparation.
At Meal Prep Sunday, we understand that food isn’t just fuel—it’s the foundation of your lifestyle. Whether you’re training hard, managing a hectic work schedule, or simply looking to eat well without the stress, this steak meal offers the perfect solution.
Why Steak Meal Prep Is a Client Favorite
Steak meals have long been a go-to for those focused on protein intake, energy, and satiety. But we go beyond just cooking steak—we create a full, chef-designed dish that supports your goals while keeping your taste buds excited.
Our ancho diced steak meal 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
Let’s walk through how we build this meal, step by step.
Tuesday: Building the Flavor Foundation
Chipotle Lime Marinade:
The first thing we create is our chipotle lime steak marinade. This bold mix includes:
Chipotle chiles
Light chili powder
Fresh lime juice
Cilantro
Cumin and coriander
Brown sugar, salt, and a splash of orange juice
Using industrial-grade hand mixers, we blend everything until smooth. This marinade isn’t just about spice—it’s about depth. The citrus notes cut through the richness of the steak, while the chiles add a smoky heat that stays balanced.
Cilantro Crema Sauce:
Next up is the cilantro crema, a cooling contrast to the steak’s heat. We blend together:
Sour cream and yogurt
Fresh cilantro and jalapeño
Cumin, coriander, lime juice
The result? A silky, tangy sauce that rounds out each bite of your steak meal prep bowl.
Salsa Matcha:
Finally, we prepare our salsa matcha, made with:
Ancho, guajillo, and arbol chiles
Garlic, peanuts, sesame
Salad oil, apple cider vinegar
Dried oregano and sea salt
This thick, spicy paste gets folded into our vegetable skillet, giving the entire meal another layer of bold flavor.
Wednesday: Cooking the Sides for Balance
Cilantro Scallion Rice:
We begin with a fresh batch of cilantro scallion rice, prepared with:
Long-grain white rice
Chicken stock for added depth
Chopped scallions and cilantro
Salt, pepper, and a drizzle of oil
Cooked evenly in our rational ovens, this rice gets perfectly fluffy. After cooking, we chill it rapidly to lock in nutrients, texture, and moisture.
Vegetable Skillet with Matcha Sauce:
Next, our chefs move on to the vegetable skillet, made with:
Bell peppers
Zucchini
Broccoli
Corn
Matcha salsa from Tuesday
Everything is cooked on our tilt skillet in batches, ensuring the right doneness and flavor for every client.
Thursday: Cooking and Assembling the Steak Meal Prep
Grilling the Steak:
After marinating for 48 hours, the steak is ready. Using precision grills, we cook the diced steak to a juicy medium—about 145°F internal temperature.
Once off the grill, we brush each batch with a touch more of the ancho marinade to amplify the flavor just before cooling.
Plating the Meals:
Here’s how we build each steak bowl:
A base of cilantro scallion rice
A layer of vegetable skillet
Juicy ancho diced steak
A sauce cup with cilantro crema
Finally, we seal the meals using our MAP technology, which removes oxygen to preserve freshness for the week ahead.
The Nutritional Edge of Our Steak Meal Prep
Every steak meal is balanced to deliver:
Lean protein from real, premium steak
Complex carbs from rice and vegetables
Healthy fats from the crema and salsa matcha
And because we source local, organic, and farm-fresh ingredients, you’re fueling your body with food you can trust.

Our steak meal prep isn’t just a recipe—it’s a solution. Meal Prep Sunday clients don’t just eat better—they feel better, move better, and focus better. Why?

Why This Steak Meal Stands Out
Steak is a classic, but at Meal Prep Sunday, we’ve elevated it into something special.

The result is a powerful, performance-based meal that fuels your week—delivered straight to your door.
