As part of Endometriosis Awareness Month 💛, we’re 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. 🍲✨
Ingredients
• 1 cup quinoa, uncooked
• 250 g lean beef strips
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 orange capsicum, thinly sliced
• 2 cups spinach and kale mix
• 1 cup bean shoots
• 2 eggs
• ½ tbsp minced ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup kimchi
• 1 tbsp sesame oil or olive oil (optional, for cooking)
• 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 medium–high heat. Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add beef strips and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned.
Stir in mushrooms and capsicum and cook for another 3–4 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.
✨ Why this combo works:
• 🥩 Iron: Important for those experiencing heavier periods to support healthy iron levels and energy
• 🍊 Vitamin C: Found in capsicum, greens, and kimchi — helps enhance iron absorption
• 🌿 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 💛
