Directions

Start by seasoning the steak with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

While the steak is cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir well and set aside.

Assemble the bowls by placing the cooked quinoa or rice as the base. Top with sliced steak, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.

Drizzle the tzatziki sauce over the top and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
