My Quinoa Protein Powerhouse Meal 😋
I’m always looking for ways to add protein into my diet, and this quinoa protein plate is a powerhouse. Plus it’s delicious! The slight sweetness of the quinoa pairs perfectly with the savory steak and crisp salad. Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients 🛒:
• 1 cup quinoa
• 1 ½ cup beef broth
• 1 romaine heart
• ¼ cup cherry tomatoes
• Boiled eggs
• 8oz ribeye steak
Directions 👩🍳:
1️⃣ Boil your eggs according to your liking.
2️⃣ Soak quinoa in water for 2 minutes to remove the outer coating (this prevents your quinoa from being bitter after cooking!). Rinse well under running water, using a fine mesh sieve.
3️⃣ Place quinoa and beef broth into a medium pot, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, turn heat to low and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes before gently fluffing with a fork.
4️⃣ While quinoa is simmering, sear your ribeye for 2 minutes on each side. If your steak is thicker, place in the oven at 350F for 5 to 7 minutes to finish cooking.
5️⃣ Slice tomatoes, romaine, and boiled eggs.
6️⃣ Plate steak, quinoa, onions, mushrooms, salad and eggs, and enjoy!
💡 Chef’s Tip:
Drizzle drippings from the steak over the quinoa for a deeper flavor!
