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.

Tilapia with Zucchini and Bell Peppers

pan-seared-tilapia-with-zucchini-and-bell-peppers

Sheet pan meals are great for meal prepping. Our Tilapia with Zucchini and Bell Peppers meal prep recipe is quick and delicious. The perfect seafood recipe for dinner on a busy week.

Tilapia with Zucchini and Bell Peppers is a delicious, nutritious seafood meal prep that is a little different from the usual weeknight dinners. Tilapia is a lean white fish, packed with protein that has a mild, delicate flavor. It has less of a fishy flavor which makes it very versatile. The soft, flaky meat of Tilapia easily melts in your mouth and absorbs the sweet flavors of the bell peppers. 

The bell peppers not only impart sweet notes on the Tilapia but they also add vibrancy to the dish. While the Tilapia brings protein, vitamin B12 and a series of other nutrients, the bell peppers provide vitamin C, which is great for your immune system. They are also rich in antioxidants. Bell peppers bring a crisp bite with a refreshing flavor that lightens the meal. The different colors of bell peppers designate the ripeness of the pepper, the green peppers bring a slightly bitter taste, while red, orange, and yellow are sweeter and milder. A mix of bell peppers can bring balance to your meal.

The last component to the dish is the zucchini which rounds out the nutrition and is low in calories and carbohydrates. High in fiber, vitamin A and C, zucchini is beneficial to weight management, skin health, and immune system. The additional water content of zucchini can also help bring a bit of moisture to the dish in case you over cook anything. 

Sheet pan seafood dinners are quick and nutritious. Cut the veggies, preheat the oven, and place everything on a sheet pan. That’s it, you’re done.
