Mediterranean Steak Bowls

Fresh, fast, and full of bright Mediterranean flavors, these steak bowls are perfect for meal prep and entertaining.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound flank steak
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup quinoa or couscous
  • 1 3/4 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup tzatziki sauce
  • Fresh parsley or mint for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper until combined.
  2. Place the flank steak in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it’s well coated; seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  3. While the steak marinates, cook the quinoa or couscous according to package directions using water or chicken broth; once done, fluff with a fork and set aside.
  4. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high. Remove steak from marinade and let excess drip off. Grill about 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare or until desired doneness. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  5. In a large bowl, toss cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and olives until combined. Season lightly with salt and drizzle with olive oil if desired.
  6. Assemble bowls: start with a base of quinoa or couscous, add sliced steak, pile on the tomato-cucumber mixture, and top with crumbled feta and a dollop of tzatziki.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley or mint and serve immediately.

Notes

Marinate steak up to 2 hours ahead or up to 8 hours for more flavor. Store components separately for best texture when reheating.
