Instructions

Marinate the Steak: Combine the marinade ingredients, ensuring the steak is well-coated. Let it sit for 30 minutes to 4 hours for maximum flavor infusion.
Prepare Tzatziki: Mix all tzatziki ingredients in a bowl and chill in the refrigerator to meld the flavors.
Make the Vinaigrette: Whisk together the vinaigrette components in a separate bowl or jar.
Sear the Steak: Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the marinated steak for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your preferred doneness. Allow it to rest before slicing thinly against the grain.
Assemble the Bowl: Layer the cooked grains, sliced steak, and all your favorite toppings. Don’t forget to drizzle the tzatziki and vinaigrette over the top!

Notes

For best results, marinate the steak for at least an hour. Feel free to swap the veggies based on seasonal availability.
