Frequently Asked Questions

What else can you do with any leftover corn and potato medley?

If you have any leftovers, you can use them as a salad topper. We also like making it into a corn potato salad by adding a little bit of mayo and lemon juice.

Is corn high in fiber?

Yes, it is rich in fiber and can help aid digestion. It has insoluble fiber which feeds good bacteria in your gut and can help you keep regular. 

Is corn healthy?

Most people trying to lose weight avoid corn because they are concerned about weight gain. However, one ear of corn only has about 100 calories, 3 grams of fiber which can help you feel full longer, and the carb is a slow-to digest type of carb that can help with weight control. So you can enjoy this vegetable in balanced portions.

Round plate with steak strips and Chinese broccoli.

What is the difference between broccoli and Chinese broccoli?

  • Chinese broccoli is in the same family as broccoli, Brassica Oleracea. However, it has thick stems, small florets, and large flat leaves

  • Chinese broccoli also has a more bitter flavor than regular broccoli

The PrepYoSelf Newsletter

To Make Chinese Broccoli with Beef Stir Fry, You’ll Need

  • Sirloin Steak: You will want to cut your steak into thin strips so that it cooks quickly during the stir fry

  • Chinese Broccoli: If you can’t find Chinese broccoli, you can also make this recipe with broccolini or regular broccoli

  • Garlic Cloves: Use fresh garlic for this recipe. Cut them into slivers. This is what gives the “garlicky” flavor to the recipe.

  • Soy Sauce: You can also use Oyster sauce which is a syrup-like sauce used in Chinses Cuisine and made from oyster extract

  • Oil: You can cook with olive oil and also add sesame oil for extra flavor

How to prepare Beef and Chinese Broccoli Stir Fry

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Cut the broccoli into one-inch pieces and slice the garlic into slivers.

  2. Cook the Meat: Add oil to a hot wok and saute the beef strips until fully cooked. Season with the soy sauce.

  3. Cook the Vegetables: Remove the beef strips from the wok and add the broccoli. Cook the Chinese broccoli until they get tender, then add the garlic slivers and cook until they are toasted.

  4. Add back the beef: Add the beef strips back to the wok and drizzle with sesame oil.

Reference the recipe card below for detailed instructions.

Meal Prep Tips for Beef and Chinese Broccoli Stir Fry

  • Shopping: When buying Chinese broccoli, avoid selecting the ones with flower blossoms because they will be less tender

  • Prepping: Wash the broccoli thoroughly because it can be sandy and have loose dirt. Trim the bottom of the stems if they look dry.

  • Cook option: You can cook them directly in the stir fry, however, they are a bit tough, so you can blanch them in boiling water before cooking them in the stir fry. This will also get rid of some of the bitterness.

  • To serve: Serve with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days for the best quality. Perfect for weekly meal prep.

Round plate with beef patties covered in tomato sauce on top of roasted green beans.

While classic meatloaf recipes are normally baked in a loaf pan, we opted for using hamburger patties and baking them flat on a sheet pan. This definitely took less time than traditional meatloaf and was a huge time saver, and you still get the classic flavors of meatloaf that we all find comfort in.

The PrepYoSelf Newsletter

Why These Meatloaf Patties are Great for Meal Prep

  • The recipe uses budget-friendly ingredients
  • Everything can be cooked on one sheet pan
  • It’s a healthier version of meatloaf that still satisfies your tastebud

Easy to Find Ingredients for Baked Meatloaf Patties

  • Lean Ground Beef Burger Patties: We used pre-made beef burger patties to save time on meal prep. However, you can definitely use any kind of ground meat and form your own burger patties
  • Green Beans: You can pair your patties with any kind of roasted veggies such as asparagus, broccoli, or even with mashed potatoes
  • Red Onions: Adding aromatics to anything always adds more flavor. You can also use sliced shallots or minced garlic
  • Tomato Sauce: You can even use leftover spaghetti sauce
  • Sugar: If you don’t want to use sugar, you can substitute it with honey. Adding a little bit of sweetness helps balance out the tartness of the tomato sauce
  • Olive Oil: Keep it heart-healthy with oil, and you can also use avocado oil

Frequently Asked Questions

Do meat patties need breadcrumbs?

For this recipe, we did not use breadcrumbs like most traditional meatloaf recipes use because the patties were already formed and stuck together when they bake.

Do you have to put milk in meatloaf?

Milk is often added to meatloaf to help soak in the breadcrumbs. However, for this recipe, we did not use breadcrumbs and therefore did not use milk. This meatloaf patty version of the recipe is gluten-free and dairy free.

What meat do I use for meatloaf?

It is usually made with ground beef and sometimes includes a combination of pork or lamp. For this recipe, we only used ground beef, however, you can even use ground turkey or ground chicken.

  • Seasonings: We used garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt.

  • Breadcrumbs: You can use any kind such as panko breadcrumbs.

How to Make a Steak Wrap with Eggplant Fries

For this recipe, you are making the main dish, the side dish, and the sauce. We started with the Eggplant Fries first. Meanwhile, we marinated steak and cooked it on the indoor grill. While everything is cooking, we mixed up our yogurt sauce. Here are the three main components of this recipe:

Air Fryer Eggplant Fries

  1. Prepare the breadcrumb mixture: Whisk together the eggs with a little bit of water in one shallow bowl. In another bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and seasonings
  2. Cut the eggplant: Slice the eggplant lengthwise into “french fry strips”
  3. Apply the breadcrumbs: Dip the eggplant in the egg mixture, then dredge it in the breadcrumbs
  4. Place in the Air Fryer: Arrange the fries in a single layer and spray with cooking spray. Cook until it is golden brown

Steak Wrap

  1. Heat an indoor grill on medium-high heat.
  2. Meanwhile, season the steak and coat it with olive oil.
  3. Sear the steak on the indoor grill on each side for a few minutes until you reach your desired doneness.
  4. Let the steak rest before slicing it into strips.
  5. Assemble your steak wrap with the toppings.

Yogurt Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, lemon juice, and seasonings.
  2. You can also substitute the yogurt with sour cream or mayonnaise.
  3. Feel free to also add finely diced cucumbers, chopped fresh dill, or chopped chives to add more texture and flavors.

Reference the recipe card below for detailed instructions.

Glass meal prep containers with breaded eggplant fires and a steak wrap with yogurt sauce.

Meal Prep Tips for A Steak Wrap and Eggplant Fries

  • Steak: Use thinly cut steak for this recipe so that it cooks quickly. You can also purchase seak and cut it into thin strips
  • Prepping thick steaks: If you have a meat mallet, you can pound thick steaks into 1/2 inch thickness
  • Wrap: If you don’t want to use a flatbread wrap, you can also use a lettuce wrap or serve the steak on top of salad mix for a lower carb option
  • Cook method variations: If you don’t have an Air Fryer, bake the eggplant fries in the oven at 425F and cook it for about 15 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through.
  • Reheating Eggplant Fries: It is best to reheat them in the Air Fryer at 350F for 2 to 3 minutes. Otherwise, they may become soggy if reheated in the microwave.

Ingredients for Easy Steak Salad and Sweet Potato

  • Steak: We splurged a bit and used NY Strip steak because of its intense and bold beef flavors. It’s not the most tender steak, but it still gives a robust flavor. However, you can use your choice of steak
  • Sweet Potato: Steak always goes well with potatoes, but we wanted to incorporate some Vitamin A which is found in sweet potatoes. It also has a lower glycemic index than regular potatoes making it carb-friendly
  • Balsamic Glaze and Seasonings: If you don’t have a balsamic glaze, you can also use a mixture of honey and soy sauce. The glaze gives the steak a good sear, char, and caramelization from grilling it on the pan
  • Salad Mix: We went with a spring mix that contains a mix of tender baby lettuce, spinach, and sometimes red and green romaine. However, you can go with whatever salad mix you have on hand

Simple Keto-Friendly, Low-Carb Beef Stir Fry Ingredients

  • Red Onions: We used diced red onions, but chopped green onions are also a great choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will fresh pesto last in the fridge?

It’s best to use it up within 5 days in the fridge for the best flavor and freshness.

Can I freeze pesto?

Yes, we recommend putting them in ice cube trays or in small freezer-safe containers. It can keep in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Is pesto healthy?

If used in moderation, it can be a healthy way to add flavor to your meals such as a sauce or a marinade. However, because the ingredients do include olive oil, nuts, and sometimes cheese, these ingredients can be high in calories and fat. Therefore, you would want to make sure you incorporate them in balanced portions to your meals. For this recipe, we used olive oil which is primarily unsaturated and can contribute to some heart health benefits.
