Ingredients
Scale
For the steak:
- 1 pound flank steak or sirloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- juice of 1 lemon
- salt and black pepper, to taste
For the bowls:
- 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup hummus
- 1 cup mixed greens or arugula
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Marinate the steak: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour over the steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Cook the steak: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare or to desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the rice or quinoa among serving bowls. Top with mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives, feta, hummus, and sliced steak. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken or lamb for the steak.
- For a low-carb option, use cauliflower rice instead of brown rice or quinoa.
- Add tzatziki sauce for extra creaminess and Mediterranean flavor.
