Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb sirloin steak (about 1-inch thick)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 cups cooked grains (brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice)
- 1 cup roasted chickpeas (optional for paleo or keto)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 cucumber (diced)
- ½ red onion (thinly sliced)
- ½ cup kalamata olives (pitted)
- ⅓ cup feta cheese (crumbled; optional for dairy-free)
- ¼ cup fresh herbs (parsley or dill, chopped)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain; coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
- ½ cucumber (grated, squeezed dry)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- 1 tbsp fresh dill (chopped)
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Coat the steak in the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the fridge.
- Prepare Tzatziki Sauce: In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Make the Vinaigrette: Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey (if using), minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Sear the Steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
- Assemble the Bowl: Start with a base of your cooked grains, then layer on the sliced steak, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta. Drizzle with the tzatziki sauce and vinaigrette.
Notes
For maximum flavor, marinate the steak for at least 2 hours. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
