Ingredients
Scale
Steak Marinade
- 1 lb sirloin steak
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Tzatziki Sauce
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cucumber, grated and drained
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Bowl Ingredients
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 2 cups cooked grains (brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice)
- Fresh herbs (parsley or dill), for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Coat the sirloin steak thoroughly with this marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse into the meat.
- Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine plain Greek yogurt with grated and drained cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve to let the flavors meld.
- Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes to retain its juices before slicing it thinly against the grain.
- Assemble the Mediterranean Steak Bowls: Start with a base of cooked grains in your bowls. Arrange the sliced steak on top, then add fresh cherry tomatoes and diced cucumber. Drizzle generously with chilled tzatziki sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill before serving.
Notes
- For a low-carb option, use cauliflower rice instead of brown rice or quinoa.
- Allowing the steak to rest after cooking is crucial for juicy slices.
- You can prepare the marinade and tzatziki sauce a day ahead to save time.
- Use fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added aroma and flavor in the bowl.
- Adjust the amount of garlic in the marinade and tzatziki according to taste preferences.
