Let’s Cook
Step 1 – Cook the Quinoa
Bring quinoa and broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cover, reduce to low, and simmer for 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
Step 2 – Roast the Veggies
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss zucchini, bell peppers, onion, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil or tallow, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once, until tender and lightly caramelized.
Step 3 – Make the Chimichurri
In a bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, red pepper flakes, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended and set aside.
Step 4 – Cook the Sirloin Steak
Pat steak dry and season with smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat with olive oil. Sear steak 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust for desired doneness). Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
Step 5 – Build the Bowls
In each bowl, add a base of quinoa, top with roasted veggies, and arrange steak slices on top. Spoon chimichurri sauce generously over the steak.
Step 6 – Serve and Enjoy
Serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired. These bowls are protein-packed, high in fiber, and bursting with color and flavor.
