MEAL PREP LOGISTICS

  • Storage: Store for up to 4 days. Steak is best within 3 days. Keep avocado separate.
  • Batching: Slicing against the grain is critical for flank steak — it turns a tough cut into butter-tender slices.
  • Reheat: Microwave for 90 seconds at 70% power. Or eat cold — steak bowls are great at room temperature.
