Ingredients

Scale

1 lb sirloin steak, about 1-inch thick
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 cups cooked grains (brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice)
1 cup roasted chickpeas (optional for paleo or keto)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cucumber, diced
½ red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup kalamata olives, pitted
⅓ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional for dairy-free)
¼ cup fresh herbs (parsley or dill, chopped)
1 cup Greek yogurt, plain (coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
½ cucumber, grated (squeezed dry)
1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil (for vinaigrette)
2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh (for vinaigrette)
1 teaspoon honey (omit for Whole30)
½ teaspoon dried oregano (for vinaigrette)
Salt & pepper to taste (for vinaigrette)

Instructions

Mix the Marinade: Combine the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Coat the steak evenly and marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Prepare the Tzatziki: While the steak marinates, combine the tzatziki ingredients. Give the mixture a good stir, then store it in the fridge to chill.
Whisk Together Vinaigrette: In another bowl, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients until combined. Set it aside.
Sear the Steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated steak in the hot skillet for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
Assemble the Bowls: Layer your choice of grains in a bowl, top with sliced steak, and arrange cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives, feta cheese, and fresh herbs on top. Drizzle with tzatziki and vinaigrette.
