As part of Endometriosis Awareness Month ๐, weโre sharing simple meals using anti-inflammatory whole foods.
This Iron-Boosted Korean Beef Quinoa Bowl is quick, fresh, and packed with iron to support heavy bleeding commonly experienced with endometriosis. ๐ฒโจ
Ingredients
โข 1 cup quinoa, uncooked
โข 250 g lean beef strips
โข 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
โข 1 orange capsicum, thinly sliced
โข 2 cups spinach and kale mix
โข 1 cup bean shoots
โข 2 eggs
โข ยฝ tbsp minced ginger, grated
โข 2 cloves garlic, minced
โข ยฝ cup kimchi
โข 1 tbsp sesame oil or olive oil (optional, for cooking)
โข Soy sauce or tamari (optional, to taste)
Method
Rinse quinoa and cook in 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for ~15 minutes until fluffy.
Heat oil in a pan over mediumโhigh heat. Add garlic and ginger and sautรฉ for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add beef strips and cook for 3โ4 minutes until browned.
Stir in mushrooms and capsicum and cook for another 3โ4 minutes until softened. Add the spinach, kale, and bean shoots and cook briefly until just wilted.
Fry or soft-boil eggs to your preference.
Divide quinoa between two bowls. Top with the beef and vegetable mix, then add the egg and kimchi.
โจ Why this combo works:
โข ๐ฅฉ Iron: Important for those experiencing heavier periods to support healthy iron levels and energy
โข ๐ Vitamin C: Found in capsicum, greens, and kimchi โ helps enhance iron absorption
โข ๐ฟ Anti-inflammatory support: Vitamin C also acts as a powerful antioxidant and, when combined with vitamin E, may help reduce pelvic and menstrual pain associated with endometriosis
Save this one for a quick, nourishing meal this week ๐
