Description
A fresh and flavorful Mediterranean-inspired steak bowl loaded with tender steak, veggies, and a delicious homemade tzatziki sauce for a healthy, satisfying meal.
Ingredients
1 lb flank steak or sirloin
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cucumber, diced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Fresh parsley for garnish
For the Tzatziki Sauce:
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cucumber, grated and excess water squeezed out
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon dried dill
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season 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.
Notes
Store steak, veggies, and tzatziki sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a gluten-free version, all ingredients are naturally gluten-free.
Use chicken, lamb, or tempeh as a meat substitute.
For a lower-carb option, skip the quinoa or rice and use lettuce or spinach as the base.
Add jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the tzatziki sauce for extra spice.
