Pork and Pineapple Grain Bowl image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Vegetable oil, for the grill
3 pineapple slices (about 1/2 inch thick)
1/2 cup pico de gallo
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 cup semi-pearled farro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
Freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 cups baby spinach
2 cups shredded red cabbage (about 1/4 small head)
1 ripe avocado, diced

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Grill the pineapple until well marked, about 2 minutes per side; let cool. Dice the pineapple and mix with the pico de gallo; set aside.
  • Season the pork with salt, then rub with the chile powder and 1 teaspoon cumin. Grill, covered, turning every 4 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the farro and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the farro is tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  • Make the vinaigrette: Whisk the lime juice, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil.
  • Divide the farro, spinach, cabbage and avocado among bowls. Thinly slice the pork and add to the bowls. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Top with the pineapple salsa.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup oyster sauce, plus more for topping
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 1/4 pounds boneless sirloin steak (about 3/4 inch thick)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 10-ounce bag frozen brown rice (about 2 cups)
1 8-ounce bag frozen quinoa (about 1 cup)
1/2 small head Savoy cabbage, chopped
1 large stalk broccoli, cut into florets
4 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler with a baking sheet under the heat source. Combine 2 tablespoons oyster sauce and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a small bowl; brush on both sides of the steak and season lightly with salt and pepper. Add the steak to the hot baking sheet and broil until browned around the edges and a thermometer inserted into the side registers 120 degrees F, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the frozen rice and quinoa and 1/4 cup water. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the grains are thawed and no liquid remains, about 8 minutes.
  • Push the grains to one side of the skillet and add the cabbage and broccoli to the other side; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until the vegetables are crisp-tender and charred in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the scallions, ginger and garlic; stir the vegetables into the grains and cook until the scallions are softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons oyster sauce and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
  • Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Divide the grain mixture among bowls. Top with the steak; drizzle with more oyster sauce.

ROASTED BROCCOLI GRAIN BOWL WITH NOOCH DRESSING



Roasted Broccoli Grain Bowl With Nooch Dressing image

This nutty, savory and deeply satisfying - not to mention vegan - grain bowl stands out because of a stellar sauce made of nutritional yeast, lemon, mustard and garlic powder that provides umami, brightness and spunk. The sauce works especially well on roasted brassicas like broccoli, cauliflower and brussels sprouts, likely because the combination is reminiscent of broccoli-Cheddar soup. Keep a jar of the stuff on hand for grain bowls on demand. (It keeps for three days in the fridge.) Cook any cold-weather vegetables, use any leftover grains, incorporate any crunch, and maybe even add dill, apples or celery for freshness. The sauce will tie it all together.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds broccoli, cauliflower or a combination, cut into 1½- to 2-inch-long florets, stem sliced ¼-inch-thick, leaves reserved
1 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
3/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
Zest and juice of 1 large lemon (about 1 teaspoon zest and 3 tablespoons juice)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 cups cooked whole grains (such as farro, quinoa, or wheat berries), warm or room temperature
1/4 cup roasted, salted almonds, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Place the racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven, and heat the oven to 450 degrees. Place two baking sheets in the oven to heat.
  • In a large bowl (or two if you need), toss broccoli and cauliflower florets, stems and leaves, and the brussels sprouts with enough olive oil to coat (around ½ cup). Season generously with salt and pepper. (Don't wash the bowl.) Roast on the heated sheets, rotating the pans and switching racks halfway through but leaving the vegetables themselves untouched, until browned and crisp-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the nutritional yeast, ¼ cup water, remaining ¼ cup olive oil, the lemon juice, mustard and garlic powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the grains to the large bowl. Season and dress the grains with salt, lemon zest, and some of the nutritional yeast dressing to taste.
  • Top the grains with the roasted vegetables, then drizzle with some of the dressing. Top with the almonds.

Provided by Francis Lam

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings, plus leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds broccoli
Salt
Olive oil, as needed
1 pound portobello or other mushrooms, in 3/4-inch pieces
2 eggs
2 cups cooked grains (wheat berries, brown rice, farro, quinoa, couscous, wild rice, etc.), warm
Lemon-herb buttermilk dressing, to taste (see recipe)
Toasted almonds or peanuts, for garnish (or toasted bread crumbs, or potato sticks, or wasabi peas, just anything you like for crunch)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425.
  • Make the vegetables: Cut the broccoli into bite-size florets. Peel the stems, and cut these into 3/4-inch pieces. In a large bowl, season the broccoli well with salt, and toss with 3 or 4 tablespoons of olive oil to coat. Spread it out in one layer on a sheet pan. Season and oil the mushrooms the same way, and spread them out on a separate sheet pan. Roast the vegetables until the mushrooms are browned but still juicy and the broccoli has charred edges, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Make the omelet ribbons: In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a couple pinches of salt. Heat a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat until hot. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of oil. When the oil slips around the pan like water, add half the egg, and swirl to coat the pan. Cook until set, about 30 seconds. Use a spatula to roll the omelet up like a jellyroll toward the edge of the pan, then turn it out onto a cutting board. Repeat with the rest of the egg. Slice the omelets into 1/4-inch-thick ribbons.
  • In a mixing bowl, season and dress the warm grains with salt and the dressing to taste. Divide among bowls. Top the grains with some mushrooms and broccoli, drizzling on a little more dressing. Top with the omelet ribbons and your crunchy garnish, and eat. Use the leftovers to make this again.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your pork and broccoli grain bowl. Look for tender pork tenderloin, crisp broccoli florets, and a flavorful grain like brown rice or quinoa.
  • Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger will help tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the pork until it is just done: Overcooked pork will be tough and dry. Cook it over medium-high heat until it is browned on the outside and still slightly pink in the center.
  • Roast the broccoli: Roasting the broccoli will bring out its natural sweetness and caramelize the edges. Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil and salt and pepper before roasting them in a hot oven.
  • Make a flavorful grain bowl: Combine your cooked pork, roasted broccoli, and cooked grain in a bowl. Add other desired toppings, such as shredded carrots, chopped peanuts, or a drizzle of sesame oil.

Conclusion:

Pork and broccoli grain bowls are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own dietary needs and preferences. With a few simple tips, you can create a flavorful and satisfying pork and broccoli grain bowl that is sure to become a favorite.
