Hearty Beef Winter Bowl Recipe to Warm Your Soul

A warm, nourishing beef winter bowl featuring marinated beef, quinoa, roasted butternut squash, kale, and red bell pepper perfect for cold days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup kale, chopped
  • 1 cup butternut squash, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • Optional: 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the beef slices in soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Spread diced butternut squash on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes or until tender.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated beef slices and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  5. In another pan, sauté chopped kale and red bell pepper until tender but still vibrant, about 5 minutes.
  6. To assemble the bowl, layer cooked quinoa, beef slices, roasted butternut squash, sautéed kale, and red bell pepper.
  7. Add optional toppings: sliced almonds, feta cheese, lemon juice.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.

Notes

Marinate the beef overnight for deeper flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan when sautéing vegetables to ensure even cooking. Use a cast-iron skillet for a better sear on the beef.
