Creating Beef & Quinoa Anti-Itch Bowl is simple. Follow these easy steps to prepare this delicious dish:
1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water (or broth). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

4. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
5. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
6. Stir in garlic, ginger, turmeric, and black pepper. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
7. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula for even cooking, about 5-7 minutes.
8. Incorporate the broccoli, carrot, and bell pepper into the skillet. Stir well and let cook for another 5 minutes until vegetables are tender.
9. Pour soy sauce over the beef mixture, stirring to combine thoroughly.
10. Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and divide it among serving bowls.
