Ingredients

Scale

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!
