Instructions
- Marinate the steak: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture over both sides of the steak and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Cook the steak: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
- Assemble the bowls: In serving bowls, layer the rice or quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta cheese, and steak slices. Squeeze lemon juice over the bowls and top with fresh parsley. Add a generous dollop of hummus or tzatziki before serving.
Notes
- You can swap steak for grilled chicken or chickpeas for a vegetarian version.
- Use cauliflower rice to make it low-carb.
- Add avocado or roasted red peppers for extra flavor.
