Ingredients
Quinoa Preparation
1 cup quinoa - rinse thoroughly
2 cups water - filtered
Beef and Vegetables
- 500 grams beef sirloin - sliced thinly
2 tablespoons olive oil - extra virgin
1 medium red pepper (red capsicum) - sliced
1 medium yellow bell peppers (yellow capsicum) - sliced
Bowl Assembly
1 handful baby spinach - fresh
1 cup cherry tomatoes - halved
1 piece avocado - sliced
1 teaspoon ground black pepper - freshly ground
1.5 teaspoons salt - to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice - freshly squeezed
Instructions
- Cook the quinoa: Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
- Prepare the beef and vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef sirloin and cook until it's browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers. Sauté until they are soft yet still vibrant in color, about 5 minutes.
- Assemble the bowls: In each serving bowl, arrange a bed of baby spinach. Spoon the cooked quinoa over the spinach. Top with browned beef, sautéed peppers, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste.
- Finish with a bright lift: Drizzle with fresh lemon juice to enhance the flavors just before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, marinate the beef for an hour in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger before cooking.
