Description

A vibrant and protein-packed bowl featuring juicy steak and fresh vegetables, perfect for weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Steak and Marinade

  • 1 pound Steak ribeye, strip, or sirloin (Sirloin is lean and budget-friendly.)
  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil (For marinating and cooking.)
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (Freshly squeezed for marinating.)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (Minced for the marinade and sauce.)
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano (Adds Mediterranean flavor.)
  • 1 teaspoon Sea salt (To taste.)
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper (To taste.)
  • 1 pinch Paprika (Optional for additional spice.)
  • 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar (Optional for added tang.)

Base

  • 1 cup Cooked quinoa or brown rice (Choose based on preference.)
  • 2 cups Chopped romaine (For a lighter bowl option.)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup Cucumber (Diced for freshness.)
  • 1 cup Grape tomatoes (Halved.)
  • 1/2 cup Red onion (Marinated with lemon and salt for 10 minutes.)
  • 1 cup Bell pepper (Diced for crunch.)

Extras

  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives (For added flavor.)
  • 1/2 cup Crumbled feta (Adds richness.)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley or dill (Chopped for garnish.)

Garlic Yogurt Sauce

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (For creamy sauce.)
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (Freshly squeezed.)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (Minced.)
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil (For a rich flavor.)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (To taste.)
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper (To taste.)


Instructions

Marinate the Steak

  1. Slice your steak into strips or keep it whole. Stir together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika. Coat the steak and marinate for 20-30 minutes at room temperature or up to 8 hours in the fridge.

Cook the Steak

  1. Heat a skillet until hot. Add a thin slick of oil and sear the steak for 2-4 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness.
  2. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Assemble the Bowl

  1. While the steak rests, add warm grains or greens to each bowl. Top with cucumber, tomato, red onion, and bell pepper. Add olives and feta.
  2. Slice the steak against the grain, add to bowls, and drizzle with garlic yogurt sauce. Finish with fresh herbs and a splash of lemon.

Notes

Customize by swapping steak for chicken or shrimp, or make it vegetarian with crispy chickpeas and extra veggies. Holds well for meal prep; store components separately when possible.
