Beef Stir-Fry with Broccoli and Quinoa
20 min 4 servings
A hearty and nutritious dinner featuring tender beef stir-fry paired with fiber-rich quinoa and vibrant steamed broccoli.
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 600 g beef sirloin
- 2 cups green beans
- 1 cup carrots
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp fresh ginger
- 2 tbsp tamari sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions
- 1Rinse 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.
- 2Thinly slice beef sirloin against the grain for tenderness. Trim and halve green beans, and julienne carrots into thin matchsticks for even cooking.
- 3Place 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.
- 4Heat 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.
- 5In 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.
- 6Return 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.
