Instructions

  1. Prepare the steak marinade: whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Coat the sirloin and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
  2. Make the tzatziki: combine 1 cup Greek yogurt, the grated and squeezed ½ cucumber, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon fresh dill, and salt and pepper. Chill while you cook.
  3. Whisk the vinaigrette: mix 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon honey if using, 1 minced garlic clove, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated steak 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium.
  5. Let the steak rest for 5 to 10 minutes on a cutting board before slicing thinly against the grain.
  6. Build bowls: divide 2 cups cooked grains among bowls, top with sliced steak, roasted chickpeas if using, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives, crumbled feta, and fresh herbs.
  7. Dollop with tzatziki and finish with a drizzle of the lemon-oregano vinaigrette.
