Sirloin, Sweet Corn & Herbed Potatoes

Let’s set the vibe:
It’s been a full day. You crushed your workout (or maybe you’re about to). You’ve answered 20 emails, managed life, and somehow remembered to refill your electrolytes. Now it’s time to eat like you mean it.

And this dinner?
This is the kind of meal that satisfies without the crash.
It’s simple, bold, high-protein, and hormone-happy — all in one pan and pot.

We’re talking:

• Seared sirloin that cooks in minutes

• Herbed potatoes that are crispy, savory, and grounding

• Sweet corn on the cob that brings the sunshine and fiber

• Real food. No fluff. Zero regrets.

This is how we eat in Protein & Planks Studio™: real, satisfying meals that build muscle, balance blood sugar, and support energy from the ground up.

💪 Why This Meal Works (Like, Really Works)

Every part of this meal was chosen for a reason — and your body will thank you for it.

🥩 Sirloin

• High in creatine, iron, zinc, and B vitamins — aka everything your strength and stamina thrive on

• Lean but flavorful, perfect for a post-lift or rest day dinner

• Grass-fed = anti-inflammatory and nutrient-dense

🥔 Baby Potatoes

• Loaded with potassium and resistant starch (good for your gut)

• A steady source of fuel to keep cortisol balanced

• When roasted with herbs? Straight-up magic

🌽 Corn on the Cob

• Naturally sweet, grounding, and fiber-rich

• Supports digestion, adds texture, and feels like summer

• Adds “plate satisfaction” without weighing you down

🌿 Nourish Your Fire, Don’t Fight It

In this Studio, we fuel to show up.
We nourish to build, not to shrink.
This dinner isn’t a diet plate. It’s a strength plate.

It’s balanced. It’s energizing. It’s doable on a Tuesday.

And it reminds you that you don’t have to choose between eating clean and eating good. You can — and should — have both.

✨ Coach’s Tips:

• Post-lift meal? Add a small scoop of white rice or a slice of sourdough for extra carbs.

• No steak on hand? Swap with grilled chicken thighs or bison steak.

• Want a dipping sauce? Mix Greek yogurt + lemon + Dijon for a quick steak drizzle.

🔥 Keep fueling strong, keep stacking these wins, and remember:
You don’t have to eat boring to eat well.
You just have to eat like a woman who lifts.

Strong AF. Rooted AF. Nourished AF.
