Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked grains (brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice)
  • 1 cup roasted chickpeas (optional for paleo or keto)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 cucumber (diced)
  • ½ red onion (thinly sliced)
  • ½ cup kalamata olives (pitted)
  • ⅓ cup feta cheese (crumbled; optional for dairy-free)
  • ¼ cup fresh herbs (parsley or dill, chopped)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain; coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • ½ cucumber (grated, squeezed dry)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill (chopped)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (for vinaigrette)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (fresh; for vinaigrette)

Instructions

  1. Mix together the marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl. Coat the sirloin steak thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for best flavor.
  2. In another mixing bowl, combine all tzatziki ingredients. Stir well until mixed and chill in the fridge while you prepare other components.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated steak for about 4–5 minutes on each side until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing thinly.
  5. In serving bowls, layer your choice of cooked grains as the base. Top with sliced steak, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives, feta cheese if using, and fresh herbs. Finish by drizzling with tzatziki sauce and vinaigrette before enjoying!
