How to Store Leftovers

Top with fresh cilantro and avocado.

Common Questions

Can I freeze this meal prep?

Yes, you can freeze the steak and potatoes. However, do not freeze the yogurt sauce. It will separate and change texture. Make the sauce fresh when you thaw.

How spicy is the chipotle sauce?

It has a medium kick from the adobo. You can use less chipotle for mild heat. The honey and yogurt help balance it. Taste as you mix to find your level.
