Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Seasoning

  • 1 lb steak (such as flank or sirloin)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Vegetable Mix

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Yogurt Sauce

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Chopped almonds or nuts of choice, optional
  • Additional fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Steak: Season the steak with salt and pepper to your liking. Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for approximately 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute before slicing.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: While the steak rests, combine halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and diced yellow bell pepper in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and fresh chopped parsley, then toss lightly to combine the flavors well.
  3. Make Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper until the sauce is smooth and well blended. This creamy sauce adds a zesty Mediterranean twist to the bowl.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the mixed vegetables first, followed by slices of the rested steak. Top with a generous dollop of the yogurt sauce to enhance the flavor and creaminess of the dish.
  5. Garnish: Sprinkle additional fresh parsley on top and garnish with chopped almonds or your choice of nuts for an added crunchy texture and nutty flavor if desired.
  6. Serve: Serve the Mediterranean steak bowls warm or at room temperature. These bowls make for a simple yet elegant meal suitable for both casual dinners and special occasions.

Notes

  • Resting the steak before slicing is key to keeping it juicy and flavorful.
  • You can substitute almonds with walnuts or pistachios for garnish if preferred.
  • Use flank steak for a more economical option or sirloin for a tender cut.
  • The yogurt sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • If you want a spicier sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes.
