Dinner Tonight: Grilled Buffalo Terres Major Filet w/ Quinoa and Black Beans and Diced New Potatoes




Rainy day out all day. Couldn't get outside to do much today so I banged around the kitchen looking for something I haven't tried before for dinner tonight. I had been wanting to try Quinoa for a while so today was the perfect day to try it. Scanned the internet looking for Quinoa recipes a came across a few that sounded good, I went with the Quinoa and Black Beans. So for dinner tonight I prepared Grilled Buffalo Terres Major Filet w/ Quinoa and Black Beans and Diced Potatoes.




The Terres Major Filet is a Buffalo Steak I first tried a couple of weeks ago. I heard that it was tender but that doesn't begin to describe how tender and delicious this cut of Buffalo is! As usual it's from Wild Idea Buffalo, which I'm going to have to place another order with soon. I seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn and I then fired up the  grill and grilled it. It's a very lean cut as are most cuts of Buffalo so you have to keep a close eye on it so not to over cook it. I grilled it about 3 1/2 minutes per side and then let it sit for 5 minutes before slicing it. It came out a perfect juicy medium rare with that delicious sweet flavor.




To go with my Steak I prepared Quinoa and Black Beans, for the first time. Besides the Quinoa (3/4 cup) I'll

need 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, 3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped, 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon roasted ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg,  1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, sea salt and pepper to taste, 1 cup corn kernels, 1 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained, and 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Nothing but good and healthy things in this recipe! Easy to prepare I just heated the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stirred in the garlic, and sauteed until lightly browned. Mixed the quinoa into the saucepan and cover with vegetable broth. Season with cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the corn into the saucepan, and continue to simmer about 5 minutes until heated through. Mix in the black beans and cilantro and continue to stir until all ingredients are heated through. One delicious and healthy dish! The Quinoa had sort of nutty taste to it and combined with all the other ingredients made a very filling and hearty dish. I also heated up a can of Del Monte Diced New Potatoes. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Vanilla Bean Frozen Yogurt.
