Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak or sirloin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup tzatziki or hummus, for topping
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak 4–5 minutes per side (medium-rare to medium). Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
- In serving bowls, layer quinoa or rice as the base.
- Top each bowl with tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
- Add sliced steak on top and drizzle with tzatziki or dollops of hummus.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
Notes
- Substitute chicken or chickpeas for steak to make it lighter or vegetarian.
- Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
- Prepare components in advance for easy meal prep.
- Tzatziki adds freshness, but hummus or tahini works well too.
