Grilled Beef and Roasted Veggies

grilled-beef-and-roasted-veggies

Grilled beef with roasted veggies is a perfect meal prep for week day dinners and the leftovers make great meal prepped lunches. Deliciously marinated with a blend of spices, you likely already have in the spice rack, and olive oil makes this recipe flavorful as well as low calorie. The recipe is very versatile and can be adapted to a ton of combinations of spices, proteins, and vegetables. We use flank steak in our recipe however ribeye or sirloin will work as well. You just need to adjust your cooking times based on the thickness. Learning the cooking method and balancing the grilled beef with roasted veggies and the spice blend will open up a whole new set of combinations. That’s why we love this versatile recipe.

In this recipe we use an indoor grill/griddle for our grilled beef and the same cooking instructions apply to any grill as long as you set your heat appropriately.

Bell peppers and squash are great vegetables for roasting. The flavors are smooth and bold enough to blend well with the spices and a flavorful protein. Many different veggies can work in this recipe though. Try your own combinations the next time you make our grilled beef and roasted veggies recipe.
