Ingredients
For the Steak Bowls:
-
1 lb steak (such as flank or sirloin)
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
-
1 cucumber, diced
-
½ red onion, thinly sliced
-
½ cup yellow bell pepper, diced
-
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
For the Yogurt Sauce:
-
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
1 garlic clove, minced
-
¼ teaspoon paprika
-
¼ teaspoon cumin
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Garnishes:
-
Chopped almonds or nuts of choice
-
Additional parsley
Instructions
Step 1:
Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
Step 2:
Once cooked, let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes.
This resting time allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the steak juicy and tender.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain once rested.
Step 3:
While the steak is cooking and resting, prepare the vegetables.
In a large bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and diced yellow bell pepper.
Toss lightly with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Step 4:
To make the yogurt sauce, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Stir until well blended.
Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Step 5:
To assemble the bowls, start by layering the fresh vegetable mixture in serving bowls.
Top with sliced steak.
Add a generous dollop of the yogurt sauce over the top.
Step 6:
Sprinkle with extra parsley and chopped almonds or your favorite nuts for a satisfying crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy the bright, fresh flavors!
