Instructions

1. Cook Your Grain

Prepare quinoa or farro according to package directions. Set aside to cool slightly.

2. Sear the Steak

Season steak with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet (or grill pan) for 4-5 minutes per side. Rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

3. Cook the Veggies

Blanch asparagus and peas in boiling salted water for 1–2 minutes, or sauté in olive oil for a deeper flavor.

4. Make the Dressing

Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon, garlic, salt, and pepper until emulsified.

5. Assemble the Bowl

In each bowl, layer quinoa, sliced steak, spring veggies, spinach, radish slices, and herbs. Drizzle with vinaigrette. Top with feta cheese salt if you're feeling extra.

Meal Prep Tip 💡

Double the steak and grains to use later in the week. This combo works great in wraps, lettuce cups, or next-day bowls with a soft-boiled egg on top.
