Ingredients
Scale
Alright, let’s gather our ingredients. Remember, the essence of home cooking is flexibility, so feel free to tweak as needed.
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
If you don’t have flank steak on hand, sirloin or skirt steak works beautifully too. And if quinoa isn’t your thing, swap it out for brown rice or couscous!
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Here’s how to bring these bowls to life:
- Start by marinating the steak. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the steak, ensuring it’s well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- While the steak is marinating, prepare your veggies and quinoa. Cook the quinoa according to package instructions and set aside to cool.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
- For the dressing, whisk together the lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and chopped dill. Drizzle this over the veggie mixture and toss to combine.
- To assemble your bowls, divide the quinoa among serving bowls. Top each with a portion of the veggie mixture and slices of steak. Drizzle any remaining dressing on top.
