Oceans 'soaking up more heat than estimated'

What I am finding in my road to eating less meat is that vegetarian food seems to take a lot longer to prepare. I can knock up a steak with mushrooms and brocolli in about 10 minutes.

I am finding to create something just as satisfying that's vegetarian is some form of pie or lasagne that is delicious but takes an entire evening to cook.

What would the vegetarian equivalent to a quick steak be?

A salad with some pan-fried halloumi cheese and pine nuts is quick and satisfying, though probably too salty to eat every day. Halloumi works as a meat substitute in a lot of recipes.

Lentils and onions over rice will fill you up, but it's certainly less fun than a steak.

Stir fries are quick, fun to cook and satisfying. Slice a couple of hard-boiled eggs, add soy sauce and sesame seeds, and serve over the stir-fried veg.

Yes, halloumi is amazing!

Pressure cookers are magic, turning 1.5-2 hr cooking times into 30-40 minutes.

For red beans and rice, I soak the beans the night before, which reduces the needed cooking time.
