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.

Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until the vegetables are crisp-tender and charred in spots, 4 to 5 minutes.

ROASTED BROCCOLI GRAIN BOWL WITH NOOCH DRESSING
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.

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.

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.

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.
