Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak

  • 1 lb steak (such as flank or sirloin)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Vegetables

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

For the Yogurt Sauce

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Almonds or nuts of choice, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Steak: Season your steak generously with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and cook the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Once cooked, let the steak rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices before slicing against the grain.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: While the steak rests, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and diced yellow bell pepper in a large bowl. Lightly season with a pinch of salt and toss with fresh chopped parsley for brightness.
  3. Make Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together plain Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste until smooth and well blended. The sauce will add a creamy, tangy, and spiced flavor to the bowl.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the vegetable mixture among serving bowls. Arrange the sliced steak over the vegetables and top each bowl with a generous dollop of the yogurt sauce. Garnish with chopped almonds or nuts if desired for extra crunch.

Notes

  • Resting the steak after cooking ensures juicy and tender slices.
  • You can substitute beef with lamb or chicken if preferred.
  • Add cooked grains like quinoa or couscous to make the bowls more filling.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace steak with grilled portobello mushrooms or marinated tofu.
  • The yogurt sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
