Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes and Steak

  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces, at room temperature Can swap for skirt steak or flank for more beefy flavor.
  • 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved Use Yukon gold or red baby potatoes for creamy texture.
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Chipotle Sauce

  • 0.5 cup Greek yogurt Can substitute for full-fat sour cream if dairy intolerance is a concern.
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced Reduce for milder heat.
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped Dried cilantro can be used if fresh is unavailable.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  • Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until golden at the edges.

Cooking

  • While the potatoes roast, season the steak pieces generously with salt and pepper on all sides and let sit at room temperature.
  • After 20 minutes, add the seasoned steak, diced bell pepper, and sliced onion to the baking sheet with the potatoes. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and toss gently.
  • Return to the oven and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the steak reaches 140 to 145°F for medium.
  • While cooking, make the chipotle sauce by blending Greek yogurt, minced chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro until smooth.
  • Divide the steak and vegetable mixture evenly among 4 glass meal prep containers. Pack the sauce separately in small containers.

Notes

Keeps 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. Freeze cooked steak and potatoes for up to 2 months.
