Skirt Steak and Quinoa Salad

Quinoa, described as a "superfood" or a "supergrain," is often used as a substitute for rice. It is commonly considered to be a grain, but it is actually a seed. Quinoa is considered a complete protein source because it contains sufficient amounts of all nine essential amino acids. It is also high in fiber, magnesium, B vitamins, iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin E and various beneficial antioxidants. Quinoa is also gluten-free.

    - Red Radish: cut into slices.
    : Boil the Quinoa
    Soak the Quinoa in water for about 2 minutes then put in a sieve and then rinse it under running cold water to get rid of the excess starch. Rinse for about 30 seconds or until the water runs clear. Bring some water to a boil. For every 100g of Quinoa, you will need 250ml of water.
    Once the water starts boiling then add in some salt. DO NOT add salt until the water starts to boil.
    Turn the heat to medium. Put the quinoa in and cover the pot. Let it cook for about 15 – 20 minutes.
