  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 cups cooked rice, quinoa, or couscous
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cups baby spinach or mixed greens
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • For the sauce: 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
  2. Coat the steak with the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Cook the rice, quinoa, or couscous according to package directions if not already prepared.
  4. Grill or sear the steak over medium-high heat until it reaches your preferred doneness.
  5. Let the steak rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then slice it thinly against the grain.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional fresh herbs until smooth.
  7. Divide the cooked grain among four serving bowls.
  8. Top each bowl with sliced steak, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and spinach.
  9. Drizzle with the yogurt tahini sauce and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Marinate the steak longer for deeper flavor.
  • Use quinoa or rice instead of couscous for a gluten-free option.
  • Swap the steak for grilled chicken, shrimp, or salmon if desired.
  • Add roasted chickpeas or grilled vegetables for extra texture and nutrition.
  • Store the steak, grains, vegetables, and sauce separately in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat only the steak and grains before assembling the bowls.
