Ingredients

Scale

1 lb sirloin steak (about 1-inch thick)
3 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)
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)
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 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 tbsp fresh dill (chopped)
Salt & pepper (to taste)
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)
1 tsp honey (omit for Whole30)
1 garlic clove (minced)
½ tsp dried oregano
Salt & pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Mix marinade ingredients (olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper) and coat the steak. Let it marinate for 30 minutes to 4 hours.
While the steak is marinating, mix the Tzatziki ingredients (Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper) and chill in the fridge.
Whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients (olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper).
Sear the marinated steak in a hot skillet for about 4–5 minutes on each side. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly.
Layer your bowl with grains, sliced steak, and toppings like cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta cheese, and fresh herbs. Drizzle with tzatziki and vinaigrette.

Notes

Marinating longer enhances flavor; customize toppings based on your preference.
