Description

This Mediterranean Steak Bowl is a vibrant and nutrient-packed meal featuring tender grilled steak, fresh vegetables, creamy hummus, and a tangy herbed-yogurt dressing. A wholesome, protein-rich dish perfect for a satisfying and flavorful meal!


Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank steak (or preferred cut)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for marinating)
  • 1 tsp minced garlic (optional)
  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, grilled
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced and grilled
  • 1 small cucumber, diced
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/2 cup hummus
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried oregano or fresh chopped herbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Grill the Steak: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Rub the steak with olive oil, salt, and pepper. For extra flavor, marinate with lemon juice and garlic for 20 minutes. Grill for 3–4 minutes per side (or until desired doneness). Remove from heat and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing thinly.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the steak is resting, grill the tomatoes and red onions for 2–3 minutes until slightly charred. Chop the cucumbers and romaine lettuce.
  3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Arrange the chopped romaine lettuce as the base. Add grilled steak slices, grilled tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, hummus, kalamata olives, and feta cheese. Drizzle with the herbed-yogurt dressing.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with warm pita bread or a side of quinoa for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Adjust the grilling time based on your preferred steak doneness.
  • For extra crunch, add toasted pine nuts or sunflower seeds.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt for plain yogurt if preferred.
  • Serve with lemon wedges for an added citrusy burst.
