Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup roasted chickpeas
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup kalamata olives, pitted
  • ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese (omit for dairy-free)
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley or dill, chopped
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • ½ cucumber, grated and excess water squeezed out
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (for vinaigrette)

  • 1 teaspoon honey (omit for strict keto or Whole30)
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (for vinaigrette)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano (for vinaigrette)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the steak by combining olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the sirloin steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated steak for 4–5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Allow it to rest before slicing thinly against the grain.
  3. Prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt), grated cucumber (with excess water squeezed out), lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  4. Assemble your bowls by adding your chosen base—brown rice or quinoa—then top with sliced steak, fresh veggies, feta cheese (if using), tzatziki sauce, and lemon vinaigrette.
