Ingredients
  

For the Steak
  • 1 lb sirloin steak Choose a well-marbled cut for flavor and tenderness.
  • 3 tbsp olive oil Use extra virgin for dressing and flavors.
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced) Fresh minced garlic brightens the marinade.
For the Bowl
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 cucumber (diced)
  • 2 cups cooked grains (brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice)
Tzatziki Sauce
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain) Full-fat yields the creamiest tzatziki.
  • 1 cup grated cucumber Squeeze out excess moisture to prevent watery sauce.
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp dill (chopped) Can also use parsley.
Seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper Omit for a milder version.

Method
 

Marinating
  1. Marinate the steak by mixing olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the steak thoroughly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preparing Tzatziki
  1. Prepare the tzatziki by combining Greek yogurt with grated cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper in another bowl. Chill until ready to use.
Cooking Steak
  1. Cook the marinated steak in a skillet over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes on each side until desired doneness. Let it rest before slicing thinly.
Assembling Bowls
  1. Assemble your bowls by layering cooked grains as the base. Top with sliced steak and fresh veggies like cherry tomatoes and cucumber. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce.

Notes

Serve with warm pita or flatbread, and add garnishes like fresh herbs for extra flavor. Experiment with different toppings for variety.
