  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup hummus (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the steak by mixing olive oil, garlic, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat the steak slices thoroughly and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for about 2–3 minutes on each side until cooked to your liking. Remove from heat and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the steak before resting it for five minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, oregano, salt, and pepper for the dressing.
  4. Assemble your bowls by dividing quinoa or brown rice among serving dishes and arranging cherry tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and feta around each bowl.
  5. Top with sliced steak, drizzle with dressing, and add optional hummus if desired. Serve immediately.
