Doin' Some Cookin'... Garlicky Steak and Veggie Bowls

After a long day at work and taking Little Man to his swim class the last thing I want to do is make dinner. The usual go to is grabbing fast food on Tuesday nights but I'm really trying to eat healthier and set a good example for Little Man on how to fuel your body properly. So I decided on making dinner Tuesday night.

With some prior planning these Garlicky Steak and Veggie Bowls make for an easy weeknight dinner. Pull out the slow cooker and get that meat cooking, roast your veggies ahead of time, and take advantage of some microwaveable rice bags for dinner that's on the table in less than 15 minutes.

Garlicky Steak and Veggie Bowls

Makes 4 Servings

Stars of the Show:

• 1 lb flank steak
• 6 gloves of garlic, chopped
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cups seven grain mix or any other microwaveable grain such as brown rice
• 2 cups water
• roasted veggies - I made a large sheet pan of roasted veggies that consisted of brussels sprouts, asparagus, butternut squash and cauliflower. 

And Action:

Place the flank steak in the slow cooker and add 1/2 cup of water. Drizzle the meat with 1 tbsp olive oil and generously sprinkle it with salt and pepper and add the garlic. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Heat your grain of choice in the microwave. 

Divide the rice among four bowls and add 4 oz of the flank steak to each bowl and divide the roasted veggies as well. Enjoy!
