Essential Tools for Effortless Meal Prep

For perfectly browned beef with zero sticking, a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch is ideal. Stir, mash, and break apart ground beef quickly using the ergonomic Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher, Black.

If you choose to serve with brown rice or even cauliflower rice, pulsing florets in a Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black helps you achieve the perfect rice texture for a lower-carb meal base.

How to Make Meal Prep Ground Beef Teriyaki

The foundation is simple: ground beef, colorful vegetables, and a glossy teriyaki sauce. Prepping all your veggies before you start (a true mise en place) ensures a fast cook time and the best texture.

Brown the beef, add your aromatics and vegetables, then pour in the sauce and simmer until luscious. Package into airtight containers for easy grab-and-go meals that reheat beautifully throughout the week.
