Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Seasoning
- 1 lb steak (your choice of cut)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
Condiments and Garnish
- 1/2 cup hummus
- 1/4 cup tzatziki sauce
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper, then cook it for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on the thickness of your steak.
- Prepare the Veggies: While the steak is cooking, slice the cucumber, chop the tomato, and thinly slice the red onion to have all fresh vegetables ready.
- Rest the Steak: Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring the meat stays tender and juicy.
- Assemble the Bowl: Slice the rested steak into thin strips. In individual serving bowls, arrange the sliced steak along with the prepared cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Add a generous scoop of hummus and a dollop of tzatziki sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing each bowl with fresh parsley. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrasting textures and fresh Mediterranean flavors.
Notes
- For a different level of doneness, adjust the cooking time of the steak accordingly.
- Use your preferred cut of steak such as sirloin, ribeye, or flank for varying flavors and textures.
- To keep the dish lighter, use low-fat or light versions of hummus and tzatziki.
- If you prefer, substitute fresh parsley with fresh mint or cilantro for a different herbal note.
- Serve with warm pita bread or over a bed of cooked quinoa or rice for a heartier meal.
