Steak Fajita Pasta Meal Prep🥩🫑🧅

This is a great recipe for meal prepping dinner for the week. It uses basic ingredients, doesn't take much time, and is a great way to get protein, fiber, iron, potassium, and vitamin c in your diet!

Servings: 8 meals

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. top round steak

• 1 Tbsp avocado oil

• Homemade fajita seasoning blend: 1 tsp chili powder, 2 tsp paprika, 2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp onion powder, 2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper

• 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

• 16 oz box rigatoni

• 1 can red kidney beans

• 1 can light coconut milk

• 1 can diced tomatoes

• 1 yellow onion(diced)

• 3 bell peppers (diced, I used a variety of colors)

• 8 cups of broccoli (I used frozen and steamed in the microwave)

• 2 c sharp cheddar cheese (I opt to add before reheating the meal)

Directions:

1. Trim any excess fat off of the top round and cut the steak into chunks. Place in a plastic bag along with avocado oil, seasoning blend, and apple cider vinegar. Marinate overnight.

2. Add steak chunks, chopped onion, and chopped peppers to a large pan. Cook over medium heat until browned.

3. Fill a large pot up with water and bring to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook until tender.

4. Add kidney beans, coconut milk, and diced tomatoes to the large pan. Turn the heat down to low and let the ingredients simmer. I personally added a bit more salt, paprika, and cumin to taste.

5. Steam your bags of broccoli in the microwave.

6. Once your noodles are cooked, strain them and add back to the large pot. Pour the steak, sauce, and veggies into the pot and mix together.

7. Optional to add the cheese at this point or add a little bit to the meal before you reheat it.

8. Serve with a side of broccoli and enjoy!
