by | Jan 18, 2021 | Parenting

This is a delicious crowd favorite that requires no cooking during meal prep!  For a healthier option, we recommend serving over cauliflower rice – although the kids might prefer their favorite noodle!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/2 lbs flank steak (or skirt steak)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • 3/4 low sodium soy sauce
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1 cup red bell pepper
  • rice or noodles of choice (for serving)
  • green onion (for serving)

DIRECTIONS:

  • No cooking is required for this freezer meal.
  • Cut steak into bite sized pieces.
  • In a large bowl, combine all ingredients (including the raw steak).
  • TO FREEZE: Combine everything in a Ziplock bag, evenly coat meat, label and freeze.
  • TO SERVE: Thaw in fridge overnight. Empty all contents into a crockpot and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours (or HIGH for 2-3 hours). Serve over rice or noodles of choice and garnish with green onions.
