🥩 Paleo Fuel: One-Pan Garlic Steak & Veggies When you’re training hard, the food you put into your body matters just as much as the reps you put in at the gym. This Paleo-friendly One-Pan Garlic Steak & Veggies recipe checks all the boxes — high in protein, nutrient-dense, and quick enough for even your busiest days. No complicated prep, no long list of ingredients. Just clean, powerful food that fuels your next PR. 🥘 Ingredients 1 lb sirloin or flank steak, sliced into strips 1 cup broccoli florets 1 red bell pepper, sliced 1 zucchini, sliced 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil) 2 cloves garlic, minced Salt and pepper, to taste Squeeze of lemon, optional for a finishing touch 🔥 Directions Prep your skillet. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When it’s hot, toss in the steak slices and season with salt and pepper. Sear your steak. Cook each side for about 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove the steak and set it aside — it’ll finish cooking later. Cook the veggies. Add your broccoli, bell pepper, and zucchini to the same pan. Stir occasionally and let them soak up the flavor from the steak drippings. Add the garlic. Once the veggies are almost tender, stir in your minced garlic. Let it cook for about 30 seconds (don’t burn it!). Combine and finish. Return the steak to the pan, toss everything together, and add a squeeze of fresh lemon. Cook another minute or two until everything’s warm and coated in garlicky goodness. 💪 Why It Works This meal hits all the macros you need to recover strong and stay lean: Protein for repair and growth Healthy fats for energy Micronutrient-rich veggies for balance and recovery It’s Paleo-approved, gluten-free, and perfect for meal prep.
