These easy Keto Meal Prep Ideas will help you stay keto even on the busy days! If you’re wondering what to do with ground beef, shredded beef, or even steak, these keto beef recipes will help!
Making a Keto Meal Plan
Everyone is different, so it’s important to find a sustainable meal prep strategy to fit your life! Some people enjoy the simplicity of eating the same rotating meals every week, and some people prefer more variety. If you’re cooking for others who are reluctant to try new keto-friendly foods, it can be important to find simple, family-friendly meals that just happen to be keto as well! This prevents you from needing to cook two meals which can take up a ton of extra time, is expensive, AND leads to the temptation of your old favorites being nearby.
If you’re looking for an easy-to-follow keto meal plan, check out my page of Easy Keto Meal Plans. Each week I put together 5 keto dinners and a bonus low-carb recipe (usually a meal prep breakfast or dessert to help out). I include a printable grocery list, meal prep tips, net carb counts, and serving amounts for each recipe. I do my best to pick family favorites, meaning you don’t have to cook one meal for yourself and one meal for the non-keto folks in the house… You can all just enjoy delicious low-carb dinner together!
Meal Prep with Beef
When you see a great deal on beef, you should buy in bulk if you can! You can easily meal prep beef in several different ways, then freeze it for a ton of future recipes! This makes a busy weeknight dinner a breeze. Ground beef can be browned to add to casseroles, pasta, or tacos (and sautéing onions, garlic, and even peppers with it adds a ton of flavor). While many store-bought taco seasoning packets are not keto-friendly, here’s a great Homemade Keto Taco Seasoning recipe you can use!
Ground beef can also be formed into meatballs (even stuffed like these Cheddar Stuffed Meatballs) to be used for meatball subs, with pasta, in soup, or over a salad! You could also prepare a big, flavorful batch of Shredded Beef which is perfect for tacos, nachos, burritos, or even salads. Steak can be prepared (sliced or shaved) for adding to omelets, salads, wraps, and low-carb pasta (like Spaghetti Squash or Zoodles). All of these options add a ton of protein and make it super convenient for weeknight dinners.

Recipes to serve with Beef
Steak and meatballs are great on top of a fresh salad. Try this Easy Wedge Salad (a classic for a steakhouse!) or replace the Buffalo Chicken in this Keto Cobb Salad! You could toss beef into this Keto Alfredo Sauce instead of shrimp, then pair it with a delicious low-carb pasta. Spaghetti Squash is a great option for that, or consider zucchini noodles (which are amazing in this Cacio e Pepe… would be a great, light option, especially with added protein of meatballs or steak).
