Rinse one and a half cup of quinoa with cold water using mesh filter if necessary until the water is clear. Add quinoa in two cups of water and half teaspoon of salt in medium-sized saucepan heavy in weight. Let it come to a boil and reduce heat by medium-low. Cover saucepan to let it simmer until quinoa is tender or water is absorbed, which takes about 20 minutes. Then drain quinoa and set it aside (you can prepare this the day before). Let one tablespoon of butter melt in a warm large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Sauté two cups of chopped leeks for about five minutes (until almost soft) then pour chicken broth and let it simmer until leeks are soft (five minutes). Add quinoa and three tablespoons of olive oil then stir for about five minutes. Then, add chopped (2 medium-sized with seeds removed) yellow tomatoes, three tablespoon of chopped leeks, three tablespoon of chopped fresh basil, and one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice (squeezed from fresh lemons) and stir for five minutes. Add ½ teaspoon of salt and pepper to season.

Spoon the Leek-Tomato Quinoa onto four plates then add grilled tender-loin beef, sauce and chives over it.
