Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Mediterranean Steak Bowl:
1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the flank steak and coat it well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Cook the Quinoa/Couscous: Prepare quinoa or couscous according to package instructions. Set aside once cooked.
3. Cook the Steak: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
4. Prepare the Vegetables: While the steak is resting, chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, avocado, and red onion, and set aside.
5. Slice the Steak: After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
6. Assemble the Bowl: In a large bowl, layer the quinoa or couscous at the bottom. Add the sliced steak on top, followed by the chopped vegetables, avocado, and crumbled feta cheese.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for added flavor and color.
8. Serve with Lemon: Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh squeeze of juice just before eating.
