Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Seasoning
- 1 lb steak (your choice of cut)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
Condiments and Garnish
- 1/2 cup hummus
- 1/4 cup tzatziki sauce
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper, then cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting cooking time based on the steak’s thickness to achieve your desired doneness.
- Prepare the Veggies: While the steak is cooking, slice the cucumber, chop the tomato, and thinly slice the red onion to prepare fresh, crisp vegetables for the bowl.
- Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from heat and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy bite. Then slice the steak into thin strips.
- Assemble the Bowl: In individual serving bowls, layer the sliced steak with the prepared vegetables, then add dollops of hummus and tzatziki sauce on top for creamy, flavorful accents.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish the bowls by garnishing with fresh parsley, enhancing the flavor and presentation. Serve immediately while the steak is warm and enjoy your flavorful Mediterranean meal.
Notes
- Feel free to use any preferred cut of steak such as ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak depending on your taste and budget.
- Adjust cooking time to your preferred steak doneness: less time for rare, more time for well done.
- For extra flavor, marinate the steak with garlic, lemon juice, or herbs for 30 minutes before cooking.
- You can add other Mediterranean ingredients like olives, feta cheese, or cooked quinoa for variation and extra nutrition.
- Leftover steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
