@coolkitchenbro: Chimichurri Steak Bowls | Diabetic Meal Prep Series My dad was recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, and I’m learning how to make meals that are high in protein, loaded with vegetables, and lower in carbs. I’m not a nutritionist or a diabetic meal prep expert—I’m just a son trying to help his dad eat a little better, one meal at a time. This week’s meal prep might be my favorite yet. Per Serving • 50g Protein • 10–12g Net Carbs • 0g Added Sugar Ingredients Steak * 2 ribeye steaks * 1 tbsp olive oil * 2 tsp kosher salt * 1½ tsp coarse black pepper * 1 tsp garlic powder * ½ tsp smoked paprika Chimichurri * 1 cup fresh parsley * ½ cup fresh cilantro * 2 tbsp fresh oregano (or 2 tsp dried) * 1 small shallot * 4 garlic cloves * ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes * 3 tbsp red wine vinegar * 1 tbsp lemon juice * ½ cup olive oil * Salt & pepper Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower Mash * 2 heads cauliflower * 4 tbsp butter * 4 oz cream cheese * ½ cup grated Parmesan * 1 tsp garlic powder * Salt & pepper Roasted Veggies * Brussels sprouts * Olive oil * Garlic powder * Salt & pepper Directions 1. Mix the chimichurri and let it rest while you cook. 2. Boil the cauliflower until tender, then blend with the butter, cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. 3. Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil and seasonings, then roast at 425°F until browned and tender. 4. Season the ribeyes and cook to your preferred doneness. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. 5. Build each meal prep bowl with cauliflower mash, roasted vegetables, sliced steak, and a generous spoonful of chimichurri. If you or someone you love is managing Type 2 diabetes, I’d love to learn from you. Drop your favorite diabetic-friendly recipes, tips, or meal prep ideas in the comments. I’m learning as I go, and your advice helps me make this series better every week. Follow along for next week’s diabetic meal prep!
