Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Seasoning
- 1 lb steak (flank or sirloin)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Bowl Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, chopped
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup tzatziki sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill or stovetop pan: Heat your grill or a stovetop pan over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the steak.
- Season the steak: Rub the steak evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to coat all sides.
- Grill the steak: Cook the steak on the preheated grill or pan for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness. Remove the steak and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
- Prepare the bowl base: In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, chopped Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese to create a flavorful Mediterranean base.
- Slice the steak: Once rested, slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Assemble and serve: Place the sliced steak on top of the quinoa and vegetable mixture, drizzle with tzatziki sauce if desired, and serve immediately for a fresh, satisfying meal.

- Letting the steak rest after cooking ensures juicy slices.
- Tzatziki sauce is optional but adds a creamy, tangy flavor boost.
- Quinoa can be cooked ahead of time to speed up meal prep.
