Equipment

  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 1 Grill or grill pan
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Chef’s knife
  • 1 Serving bowl
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Whisk

Method
 

  1. Begin by marinating the flank steak. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the steak and coat it well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. While the steak is marinating, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside to cool.
  3. After marinating, heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, grill the flank steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  4. While the steak rests, prepare the salad components. In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, and parsley.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 1 lemon and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Pour this dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss to combine.
  6. Slice the grilled steak against the grain into thin strips.
  7. To assemble the steak bowl, start with a base of cooked quinoa. Top with the vegetable salad and sliced steak. Drizzle with any remaining dressing if desired.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Mediterranean-inspired healthy steak bowl!

Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the quinoa and steak in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. Serve with fresh salad components.
Variations:
- Substitute flank steak with chicken breast or tofu for a different protein.
- Add roasted bell peppers or zucchini for extra veggies.
- Make it a spicy bowl by adding sliced jalapeños or a dash of red pepper flakes.
