How to Make Mediterranean Steak Bowls
Season steak with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Let it marinate for 15–30 minutes.
Cook steak in a hot skillet or grill pan for 3–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Let it rest, then slice thinly against the grain.
Prepare your base (rice, quinoa, or couscous) and set aside.
Assemble the Bowls
Add the base to a bowl, then top with sliced steak, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and olives.
Add feta cheese and a dollop of hummus or tzatziki.
How to Serve
Serve warm or cold. Drizzle with olive oil or a squeeze of lemon for extra freshness.
Tips for Best Results
Let steak rest before slicing for juiciness. Slice against the grain for tenderness. Use fresh veggies for best flavor. Add sauce just before serving.
Variations
Use chicken or lamb instead of steak. Make it low-carb with cauliflower rice. Add pita bread on the side. Make it vegan with roasted chickpeas instead of steak.
Storage and Meal Prep
Store ingredients separately for up to 4 days. Assemble fresh for best texture and flavor.
