Instructions

  1. Marinate beef (flank, sirloin, or tri-tip) for 30 min-4 hrs in soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a pinch of pepper. Pat dry, sear in an oiled skillet for 3-5 min per side (medium-rare). Rest for 5-10 min, then thinly slice against the grain.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed sweet potatoes and sliced bell peppers with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Roast on a baking sheet for 20-25 min, flipping halfway, until tender and caramelized. Cool completely.
  3. Drain, rinse, and pat chickpeas very dry. Toss with olive oil, salt, and garlic powder. Roast for 15-20 min until golden and crunchy. Cool completely.
  4. In a dry skillet over medium-low heat, toast pecans for 3-5 min until fragrant, stirring. Cool completely.
  5. Whisk together extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small jar. Shake well.
  6. In each meal prep container, layer hearty greens, sliced beef, roasted sweet potatoes, bell peppers, and crumbled feta. Store toasted pecans and crispy chickpeas in a separate small compartment. Keep dressing in its own separate container. Combine just before eating.

Nutrition

Keywords: Marinate beef for at least 2 hours, or overnight, for maximum flavor and tenderness. Always cool all cooked components to room temperature before assembling to prevent wilting and sogginess. Store your dressing separately and add just before serving to maintain crispness.
