Description

Mediterranean Steak Bowls are a flavorful and healthy meal, featuring seasoned steak, fresh vegetables, and a tangy tzatziki sauce served over a grain base.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the vegetables and steak. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley. Garnish with lemon wedges.
