Ingredients
Scale
- 500g (1 lb) flank steak or sirloin steak
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- ¼ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 small cucumber, grated
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the flank steak with oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides.
- Once the pan is hot, place the steak in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side (for medium-rare) or longer depending on your desired level of doneness. Remove from the pan and let it rest for about 5 minutes, then slice against the grain into thin strips.
- In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh dill. Stir until smooth and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside in the fridge.
- While the steak is resting, prep the vegetables: Dice the cucumber and red onion, slice the bell pepper, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Optionally, chop fresh parsley for garnish.
- Assemble the bowls by placing a serving of cooked quinoa or brown rice in each bowl. Add the sliced steak on top, followed by the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and Kalamata olives.
- Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the vegetables and steak. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley. Garnish with lemon wedges.
