Rinse the quinoa under cold water and place in a small saucepan with the water.
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12 minutes or until the water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
Pat the steak dry with a paper towel and season both sides with half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with half of the olive oil and sear the steak for 4 to 5 minutes per side until it reaches your desired doneness.
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to keep it juicy.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and minced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and toss until just wilted, then stir in the lemon juice and remaining salt and pepper.
Slice the rested steak against the grain and serve immediately alongside the quinoa and sautéed spinach.
