Instructions

  • Cook the quinoa according to package directions. Set aside to cool.

  • Pat the steak very dry with paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Use the same skillet and cook the steak for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping and turning every two to three minutes, until a dark crust has formed on both sides and the steak is cooked to your liking. Remove and let rest for about 10 minutes.
  • Divide the quinoa, corn, spinach, and red onion evenly between plates. Top with the steak and cilantro lime dressing. Enjoy!
