Plating

Start by placing a generous scoop of the quinoa in a bowl as a base. Place the cooked beef strips attractively on one side. Arrange the colorful roasted vegetables alongside the beef, being careful not to mix them. Sprinkle the cherry tomatoes and optional feta cheese over top. Let some of the ingredients pile up naturally to add height and volume to the bowl. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top to add color and freshness. The final presentation should showcase all the ingredients in their respective sections, creating a vibrant and appetizing visual effect.
