Instructions
Making the Easy Mediterranean Steak Bowl is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the flank steak and coat it in the marinade. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
2. Cook the Quinoa/Couscous: If not already cooked, prepare the quinoa or couscous according to package instructions. Set aside.
3. Grill the Steak: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated flank steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
4. Prepare the Vegetables: While the steak rests, chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion.
5. Slice the Steak: Once rested, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
6. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa or couscous first. Top with sliced steak, followed by the fresh vegetables.
7. Add Feta Cheese: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top, if using.
8. Garnish and Serve: Finish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty flavor.
These steps will guide you in creating this incredible bowl effortlessly, ensuring that each component comes together beautifully.
