Ground Beef Meatballs Preparation
Meal Prep Sunday delivers fresh, chef-prepared meal preps to thousands of customers every Sunday! Every day leading up to delivery is just as important, ensuring quality and safety in every meal. It’s essential for customers to know exactly where their food comes from and how it’s made. Every ingredient used in our ground beef meatballs recipe, from the fresh vegetables to the perfectly cooked rice, contributes to one delicious, balanced meal.
Our detailed preparation process, from receiving quality ingredients to delivering ready-to-eat meals across Southern California, guarantees fresh and flavorful meal prep meatballs every week. Here’s an inside look at how we prepare our signature ground beef meatballs with sautéed vegetables and white rice.
Monday: Cleaning and Kitchen Preparation
The week starts with thorough cleaning and organizing. Our team sanitizes all stations, arranges trays and racks for easy access, and ensures the kitchen environment is pristine. This clean start is crucial to maintain safe food handling practices for our meal prep meatballs. While the kitchen staff prepares, our delivery team sends meals to local influencers for video testimonials, highlighting the quality and convenience of our meal prep service.
Tuesday: Mixing the Ground Beef and Preparing the Korean BBQ Glaze
Under the guidance of Executive Chef Matt Kelly, the ground beef is carefully mixed with fresh ingredients and portioned for different meal prep plans. Julio, one of our cooks, prepares a delicious Korean BBQ glaze using soy sauce, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. This glaze adds rich flavor to our meatballs. A cornstarch slurry thickens the sauce perfectly, ensuring every bite of our meal prep meatballs is bursting with taste.
We portion each meatball batch precisely to match specific macro goals—calories, fats, proteins, and carbohydrates—so our customers stay on track with their nutrition.
Wednesday: Cooking Meatballs and Sautéing Vegetables
Wednesday is all about cooking. Our executive team taste-tests small batches before we begin full production. We bake the meatballs in our industrial oven at 350°F for 25 minutes, which creates a caramelized crust while keeping the center juicy.
After cooking, any excess fat is drained, and a final coat of Korean BBQ sauce is applied before one last bake to lock in flavor. Meanwhile, our line cook Samuel sautés fresh vegetables—carrots, broccoli, bell peppers, onions, and kale—in a touch of healthy fat to retain nutrients. These vibrant veggies complement the protein-packed ground beef meatballs, creating a balanced, nutrient-rich meal prep option.
Thursday: Saucing the Meals
On Thursday, our team fills plastic ramekins with Sambal sauce, a low-calorie, sugar-free spicy condiment. This sauce pairs perfectly with the ground beef meatballs and vegetables, adding an extra layer of flavor without compromising health goals. Sambal is a great alternative to Sriracha for those looking to spice up their meal prep without added sugars.
Friday: Packaging and Sealing for Freshness
On Fridays, our trained culinary team carefully plates each ground beef meatball meal. They start by adding sauce to the BPA-free container, then layer in white rice and vegetables with precision. Next, they place the meatballs on top and finish with a sesame seed garnish for flavor and presentation.
We vacuum-seal each meal to lock in freshness and prevent leaks during delivery. Then, we apply a clear label with the meal name, macro breakdown, and expiration date—so you have everything you need at a glance. This meticulous process keeps your meals fresh, flavorful, and fridge-ready for up to seven days.
