Ingredients
For the Steak & Marinade:
- 1 lb sirloin or flank steak
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Bowl:
- 1 cup cooked rice or couscous herbed with parsley, lemon juice, and olive oil
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/2 cucumber diced
- 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup hummus
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the steak and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes (or overnight for best flavor).
- Cook the Base: Prepare your rice or couscous according to the package. Once cooked, fluff and mix in chopped parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.
- Grill the Steak: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the steak for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust based on your preferred doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
- Assemble the Bowl: In individual bowls, layer the herbed rice/couscous, steak slices, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, olives, and feta. Add a dollop of hummus and garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.
- Serve: Serve immediately or store in meal prep containers for up to 4 days.
