  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound flank steak (or your preferred cut)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 cucumber, diced
– 1 bell pepper, diced
– 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
– 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Tzatziki sauce or Greek yogurt (for drizzling)


Instructions

Creating the Easy Mediterranean Steak Bowl is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the flank steak and coat evenly. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Cook the Quinoa or Rice: While the steak is marinating, prepare your quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions. Set aside once cooked.
3. Preheat the Grill or Skillet: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure it’s hot before adding the steak.
4. Grill the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and place it on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.
5. Let the Steak Rest: Once cooked, remove the steak from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
6. Prepare the Vegetables: While the steak rests, prepare your vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, chop the bell pepper, and thinly slice the red onion.
7. Slice the Steak: After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
8. Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, layer the cooked quinoa or rice first, then top with sliced steak, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion.
9. Add Feta and Garnish: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top and garnish with fresh parsley.
10. Drizzle Sauce: Finish with a drizzle of tzatziki sauce or Greek yogurt for added flavor.
