Hawaiian Steak with Pineapple Quinoa

I am always looking for new ways to spice up my mundane menu at home! I saw a recipe like this in a magazine and thought I'd try it out!

Be sure to add your meal into your myfitnesspal app and to weigh/measure out all of your portions!


Serves 2 people
Time: 30 min

What You'll Need:
1 cup Dry Quinoa (makes about 2 1/2 cups cooked)
1 1/2 cups Fresh Diced Pineapple
1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro Finely Chopped

2 Lean Steaks (mine were about 6 oz each)
1/2 Lime
2 Tbsp Chili Powder
1/2 tsp Corriander
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper

Directions:
1. Cook Quinoa as directed on packaging

2. Dice Pineapple and finely chop Cilantro
3. Once Quinoa is cooked, add Pineapple, Cilantro, dash of Salt and Pepper. Mix it together and keep on stove with lid on it. The flavors really melt together :)
*Cooked:
 *Add:
4. Trim your Steaks, if needed, and add a squeeze of Lime, Chili Powder, Corriander, Salt and Pepper to both side of the steaks
*My steaks got a dusting of cilantro:
5. Place on Grill or Pan. We don't have a grill so I used a pan. Cooked until desired
*A nice sear is always nice:
6. Let your Steaks sit for 3-5 min before cutting into them. Serve Pineapple Quinoa warm and ENJOY!!!

*1 serving of the Pineapple Quinoa is a 3/4 cup.
