Beef Stir-Fry with Broccoli and Quinoa

Rinse quinoa under cold water to remove bitterness. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil over high heat, then add quinoa, reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed and grains are fluffy.

Thinly slice beef sirloin against the grain for tenderness. Trim and halve green beans, and julienne carrots into thin matchsticks for even cooking.

Place broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for 5 minutes at medium heat until bright green and tender-crisp, avoiding overcooking.

Heat coconut oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add beef slices in a single layer, season lightly with salt and pepper, and sear without stirring for 2 minutes until browned. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until just cooked through, then remove and set aside.

In the same wok, add green beans and carrots over high heat. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp and slightly charred. Add grated ginger and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Return beef to the wok with vegetables. Drizzle tamari sauce and sesame oil over the mixture, tossing everything together for 1 minute over high heat until well-coated and heated through.
