Pan-Seared Steak with Protein-Packed Quinoa Mushroom Pilaf
Enjoy a hearty meal featuring a perfectly pan-seared steak paired with a protein-packed quinoa mushroom pilaf. This balanced dish offers a savory blend of textures and flavors—from the juicy, seared beef to the nutty quinoa and earthy mushrooms, lightly sautéed with aromatic garlic and onions—a delicious option for any meal time.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Beef Sirloin Steak
1/3 cup dry Quinoa
1 cup Sliced Mushrooms
1/4 cup Diced Onion
1 clove Minced Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water and drain. Set aside.
Season the beef sirloin steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add half the olive oil. Sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side until it reaches your preferred doneness. Remove from the pan and let rest.
In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil along with the diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they soften and release their juices, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the quinoa and toast it lightly for 1-2 minutes. Then add 2/3 cup water (or low-sodium broth if desired) and bring to a simmer.
Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and let the quinoa cook for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy.
Slice the rested steak against the grain and serve over a bed of the quinoa mushroom pilaf. Enjoy your meal!
