Ingredients

1 lb flank steak (or any preferred steak cut)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups cooked quinoa or rice

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 cup tahini or Greek yogurt (for dressing)

2 tablespoons water (for dressing)

1 tablespoon olive oil (for dressing)

1 teaspoon lemon zest (for dressing)

Instructions

  1. Season the Steak: Rub the flank steak with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.
  2. Cook the Steak: Grill or pan-sear the steak over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
  3. Prepare the Bowl: In a large bowl, arrange a base of quinoa or rice. Top with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese.
  4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini (or Greek yogurt), lemon juice, water, olive oil, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: Arrange the sliced steak on top of the veggies. Drizzle with the creamy dressing and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For a spicier kick, add some red pepper flakes to the dressing or top with a few pickled jalapeños.

Swap the quinoa for couscous or farro for a different base grain.

To make this bowl grain-free, use cauliflower rice instead of quinoa or regular rice.

For a vegan version, skip the steak and feta, and use chickpeas or tofu as the protein source.
