Beef, Broccoli and Quinoa Salad
Ingredients
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
3cm piece of ginger, sliced
1 tsp chilli flakes
60ml olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
600g beef eye fillet steaks
Salt
Pepper
1 broccoli, cut into florets
40g cashew nuts
Coconut Dressing
125ml coconut milk
60ml lime juice
1 tbsp ginger, grated
Method
To make the coconut dressing, place the coconut milk, lime juice and grated ginger in a bowl and whisk to combine.
Place the quinoa, water and ginger slices in a saucepan over high heat and bring to the boil. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, discard the ginger and allow the quinoa to stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and set it aside to cool completely (if you have a rice cooker this step can also be done in this).
Heat a large frying pan over high heat.
Place the chilli flakes, oil and garlic in a small bowl and mix to combine.
Brush the beef steaks and broccolini with the chilli mixture and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cook the beef for 3 minutes on one side then flip over to cook for a further 3 minutes. Set aside and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Cook the broccoli in the frying pan for 2–4 minutes until lightly charred but still tender. Set aside.
Place the cashew nuts in the frying pan for 2 minutes.
Place the quinoa, broccoli and cashews in a bowl and toss to combine.
Serve the beef with the quinoa salad and drizzle over the coconut dressing.
