Ingredients
  

For the steak marinade

  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 Juice of lemon

For the bowl

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup hummus (optional, for serving)

For the dressing

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Juice of lemon
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the steak

  • In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the steak slices and coat them well. Let the steak marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Cook the steak

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the steak. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

Prepare the dressing

  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, oregano, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed. Set aside.

Assemble the bowls

  • Divide the quinoa or brown rice between serving bowls. Arrange the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese around the bowl.
  • Top with sliced steak and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Drizzle with the dressing and add a dollop of hummus if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to slice the steak against the grain for tenderness. Customize the toppings with your favorite vegetables or grains. For a spicier option, add red pepper flakes to the dressing. Marinating the steak longer than 10 minutes will enhance the flavor even more!
