The Meal Maker: super fast week-night meal with a fresh new twist!
Heading home from work, but rushing back out with the kids to hockey or ballet? Looking for a nutritious meal that gives everyone the boost of energy they need, but is on the table in 20 minutes? I have the solution…
Did your Mom make you Minute Steaks when you were a kid? Mine did, so I thought I’d bring them back and make them cool again! Why not? They’re simple nutritious protein that is super yummy and ready in no time flat.
I could eat this Minute Steak with Ratatouille every night, I totally love, love love! The steak is seasoned simply and ready in just a few minutes.
When you’re at the meat case looking for these steaks it can be a bit confusing. They are sometimes called Minute Steaks or Cube Steaks, but most often labelled Fast-fry Steaks. There are lots of reasons to pick up these babies; they cook faster than regular steak, are easier on the pocketbook and kids love them.
Tell me this doesn’t look delicious… you want some right now… right?
I love the idea if skipping the added carbs and just piling on the veggies. The rainbow colour of this dish makes it not only good for you, but a feast for the eyes as well. That makes me happy. I hope you will be too!

Love the idea of topping steak with ratatouille.. never thought to do so before and have to try it!
Hi. It doesn’t say how many servings is the recipe.
The recipe calls for two Fast-fry steaks, so that would serve 2.
A quick and easy hit…even the lil picky eaters inhaled it. Thx 🙂
This was pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing!
I made it for lunch and it is a tasty, quick dish. What I don’t understand is that Yummly titled this recipe at ‘high protein’. It isn’t at 6% of our daily allowance.
Hi Lynne, I don’t know anything about how Yummly titles my recipes – they do that on their own.
