I think there may have been a certain amount of sarcasm present in uv's post...

Pizza or stuffed pasta from local supermarket. For the pasta I tend to have some kind of meat and tomatoes lying around to throw in as well

In descending order of time and prep work.
Steak fajitas - fry steak strips in olive oil with spices. Add chopped pepper, onion and mushrooms. Pop in a warm wrap with lettuce. Easy. < 20 mins, one pan.
Beans on toast with poached eggs. < 10 mins.
BLT - takes as long as it takes to grill crispy bacon, which is never quick enough.

I like to use a bit of juicy rump and cut it fairly thick (finger-sized pieces), though for fajitas that's probably overkill! Melt in the mouth though. The last thing you want in a fajita is a bit of gristle or chewy fat. Thin frying steak would do.
omelet with loads of onion/potato/peppers/chili
Scrambled egg
sandwich
salad
But TBH so many things can be cooked in 10 minutes.
Chicken breast cut into thinner slices marinaded in lime juice, seasoning, garlic, honey - on the BBQ done in around 12 minutes.
Burger from the freezer on the BBQ.
Pick up a steak form supermarket, 5 minutes to cook, 2 minutes to rest.
Wholewheat pasta + pesto
Even a quick stir fry can be done in 10 minutes or so. Quickly and roughly slice whatever veg I have lying around, into a wok with sesame oil, add some garlic and crushed chilies, tsp of Chinese 5 spice, soy sauce and if I have something like oyster sauce a dollop of that.

I googled the number out of curiousity, it's an excellent takeaway near my house! KUDOS d_brennen.
My quick meal is two poached eggs on toast, I microwave the eggs so the whole thing takes 90 seconds and minimal tidying.
