  • 3 tbsp olive oil For marinating the steak and adding flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced to enhance the marinade's aroma.
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice Freshly squeezed for brightness in flavor.
  • 1 tsp dried oregano A classic herb in Mediterranean cuisine.
  • 1 tsp dried thyme Adds depth to the marinade.
  • ½ tsp salt To taste; elevates all flavors present.
  • ¼ tsp black pepper For a slight kick of spice.
  • 2 cups cooked grains Choose from brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a healthy base.
  • 1 cup roasted chickpeas Optional, great for added protein.
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes Halved for freshness and color.
  • ½ cup kalamata olives Pitted for briny flavor contrast.
  • ⅓ cup feta cheese Crumbled; optional if dairy-free is preferred.
  • ¼ cup fresh herbs Parsley or dill, chopped for garnish.
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt Plain; use coconut yogurt if dairy-free is needed.
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice Freshly squeezed to brighten the tzatziki flavor further.
  • 1 clove garlic Minced for additional depth in tzatziki sauce.
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill Chopped to enhance the tzatziki's refreshing taste.
  • 3 tbsp olive oil For vinaigrette dressing that ties everything together.
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice For acidity in vinaigrette dressing balance.
  • 1 tsp honey Omit if following Whole30 guidelines.
  • ½ tsp dried oregano To complement vinaigrette dressing's flavors.

Method
 

  1. Mix together the marinade ingredients of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the sirloin steak thoroughly with this mixture and allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes up to 4 hours.
  2. In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt), grated cucumber (squeezed dry), lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, and salt & pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are smoothly integrated and place it in the fridge to chill while you prepare other components.
  3. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey (if using), minced garlic, dried oregano, salt & pepper until well combined into an emulsified vinaigrette.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the marinated steak for about 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest briefly before slicing thinly against the grain.
  5. Start layering your bowls by placing a base of cooked grains first and then top with sliced steak along with cherry tomatoes, diced cucumbers, sliced red onions, kalamata olives, roasted chickpeas (if using), feta cheese (if using), and fresh herbs.
  6. Finally, drizzle each assembled bowl generously with chilled tzatziki sauce and vinaigrette dressing before serving immediately as a vibrant meal option!
