Steak and Quinoa Bowl

 

Eating healthy has been on point lately.

It feels good to be able to stick to this kind of diet, feel good about it

And also enjoy my favorite food on weekends.

I mean, look at this beautiful bowl!

Who says eating healthy is boring???

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 16 oz sirloin steak 
• 1 red pepper, sliced
• 1 green pepper, sliced
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 1 avocado

Quinoa

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup quinoa
• 1 tsp butter
• 1 pinch salt

Corn Salsa

• 1 cup corn
• 1 can black beans rinsed and drained
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tsp hot sauce
• 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

Pico de Gallo

• 2 tomatoes diced
• 1 small onion finely diced
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tbsp cilantro finely chopped
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

• Make your quinoa in a rice cooked or in a pot on the stove.
• Meanwhile, mix ingredients for corn salsa and pico de gallo together. 
• On med-high heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil to a large frying pan. When pan is smoking, add the steak and cook on high for approximately 2-3 minutes each side, depending on the thickness of your steak. When the steak is somewhat firm and not super squishy, I usually take it off. Be sure to let it rest for AT LEAST 5 minutes before slicing it across the grain!
• After the steak is finished, keep the frying pan on the heat, add remaining tbsp of olive oil and add the veggies, sautéing for about 5 minutes and stirring every once in a while.
• Put bowl together by adding sliced steak, stir-fried veggies, salsas and sliced avocado in a circle around the quinoa in the middle of the bowl or any way you like.
• Add your favorite topping, garnishes and enjoy!
