  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (marinade)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked grains (brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for low-carb)
  • 1 cup roasted chickpeas (optional)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • ⅓ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
  • ¼ cup fresh herbs (parsley or dill, chopped)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or unsweetened coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • ½ cucumber, grated and squeezed dry (for tzatziki)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (for tzatziki)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced (for tzatziki)
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (for tzatziki)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (for tzatziki)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (for vinaigrette)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (for vinaigrette)
  • 1 tsp honey (or omit for Whole30)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced (for vinaigrette)
  • ½ tsp dried oregano (for vinaigrette)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (for vinaigrette)

Instructions

  1. Make the marinade by whisking olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Marinate the steak with the marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
  3. Prepare the tzatziki by combining Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl; chill while cooking.
  4. Whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together in a small jar or bowl until emulsified and adjust to taste.
  5. Cook the steak in a hot skillet for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, then let rest before slicing.
  6. Assemble the bowls with cooked grains topped with sliced steak, chickpeas, vegetables, feta, fresh herbs, a dollop of tzatziki, and vinaigrette.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, use coconut yogurt and omit feta. For vegetarian, swap steak for grilled portobello caps or spiced roasted chickpeas.
