Steak Cobb Salad Meal Prep

Prep for the week ahead! Loaded with protein, nutrients and greens! Plus, this is low carb, easy peasy and budget-friendly.
Sometimes lean meats and fishes can get a little boring after a while.
That’s why I try to switch up my diet regularly so my body never gets used to the same nutrition.
So I introduce to you one of my all-time favorites: the steak cobb salad.
And, it comes just in time for Valentine’s Day. Prep it ahead of time, and serve with a glass of wine.
You don’t need last minute dinner reservations, and you have a particularly low carb meal that’s high in protein to keep you physically lean and mentally alert.
See, I got you guys covered.
So let’s go ahead and break down the ingredients of this awesome box:
- Steak: High in protein, rich in iron and a great source of Vitamin B12. All of which keep the immune system working, builds strong bones and muscles, and keeps red blood cells healthy.
- Hardboiled Eggs: Contains good fats that can lower your risk of heart disease, and also high in protein and Vitamin A. Vitamin A has been shown to help with keeping your eyes healthy.
- Tomatoes: An excellent source of Vitamin C, Vitamin K, biotin and antioxidants.
- Feta Cheese: One of the lowest calorie cheeses to eat. Also an excellent source of Vitamin D.
- Pecans: High in unsaturated fat, and they also contain a number of vitamins and minerals. And just a few a day can help reduce bad cholesterol.
- Spinach: Full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. You should always try to incorporate dark leafy greens into your diet as part of your healthy routine. You can also try the blueberry kale protein smoothie as a way to sneak your greens into your day.
Steak Cobb Salad Meal Prep
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pound steak*
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 6 large eggs
- 6 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup
Fisher Nuts Pecan Halves - ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Using paper towels, pat both sides of the steak dry. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Add steak to the skillet and cook, flipping once, until cooked through to desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let cool before dicing into bite-size pieces.
- Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Cover eggs with a tight-fitting lid and remove from heat; set aside for 8-10 minutes. Drain well and let cool before peeling and dicing.
- To assemble the salad, place spinach into meal prep containers; top with arranged rows of steak, eggs, tomatoes, pecans and feta.
- Serve with balsamic vinaigrette, or desired dressing.

Nutritional information?? Even just an estimate would be great!
Got this recipe through the meal prep book and absolutely loved it. The only modification I did was to add Montreal Steak Spices to the steak before searing it. Will definitely do this one again.
Though it looks delicious, I don’t really get if you’re meant to eat the steak hot or cold .
I would put the steak in a separate small container and heat it and then put it with your salad just cause I cannot eat cold meat. But I’m sure it’s safe to eat it cold since it’s already been cooked
Though it looks delicious, I don’t really get if you’re meant to eat cold steak or if you have to take the steak out of your lunchbox to heat it on its own…
Do you know if this falls in line with the Whole 30 diet?
You would have to omit the cheese.
These were delicious! I used raspberry vinaigrette as a dressing. I wouldn’t classify them as budget-friendly, but maybe that’s because I’m cheap and steak, feta and nuts aren’t cheap in my area. I’m making them again, though, as I wanted more when they were gone and I keep obsessing over the flavor. Thanks soooo much!
Wow! This looks amazing!
I LOVE LOVE steak and when it is combined with all of these ingredients, it is a yummy, easy, and healthy salad that I could eat any day of the week! Thanks for sharing!
Just a tip about boiling the eggs:
Add 1 tablespoon vinegar or apple cider vinegar and two teaspoons salt to the water and eggs. You can’t taste the difference but the shell comes off a thousand times easier.
How long will this last in the fridge and do you reheat the steak?
A few days at least but methods for optimal food storage and shelf life should be based on good judgment and what you are personally comfortable with.
Chungah, your recipes are so clear and down to earth. Thank you!
What types of containers are you using for your meal preps? I have been looking for good ones and I really like the size and look of these.
I am using these containers from Amazon.com.

Great idea!
This is awesome! Simple and yummy looking…. my boys will really appreciate the steak and I will get them to eat some greens! Thanks for the idea.
Looks good, but question: how long do these (once prepped) last in the fridge?
And do you make all of them ahead? for some reason i worry about the spinach going off if i put it at the bottom and then leave in the fridge with everything on top for a few days. Or do you prep your seperate ingredients and just put it together in the morning?
