This was just a throw together dish that came out beautifully using some fresh ingredients with leftovers. Always have some roasted garlic on hand as you can use it in so much; same with quinoa. Add some time if you have to cook that up. The liquids are an estimate as I was tasting as I went.

I said 3 servings as this was made for 2 but we kept eating out of the pan when we were done...so it could be for 4 ;-).

Keep out the steak and you have a tasty vegetarian meal.

Steps

20 mins

1

Finely dice the onion.
2

Cut the tops off the 3 peppers, clean out the seeds, cut them in half and then cut them into thin strips.
3

Cut the mushrooms in half and then slice them (about a cup when sliced)
4

Season the steaks with salt and pepper to your liking and then slice them into thin strips.
5

Place pan or wok on med-hi heat. When hot add coconut oil or whatever oil you prefer. Toss in onions. After a minute add the peeled, unchopped roasted garlic (diced if using raw garlic).
6

After another minute as onion starts to brown, toss in mushrooms and sautee for a minute.
7

Add in peppers tossing to coat with mushroom and onions. Sautee for a couple of minutes. (You want these to still have a bit of crispness at the end)
8

Add steak and brown on both sides...about 1 and 1/2 to 2 minutes.
9

Add Cooking sherry and let it bubble for a minute then add the soy...bubble for another minute.
10

Add the quinoa mixing it with everything. Start with a cup and add more if you like. You want there to be enough quinoa to pick up the sauce but not too much that there is quinoa with no sauce.
11

No.salt will be needed but add some fresh ground pepper to taste.
12

Optional: to add some creaminess, add 1/2 to 1 tbsp of butter before serving.
13

Serve in a bowl or on a plate making sure you get a bit of everything. As a final touch, I put a couple of cubes of feta on each serving
