Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 – 1.5 pounds flank steak

Steak Marinade

  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, crushed

Bowls

  • 5-Minute Greek Yogurt Dressing
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 2 cups white rice
  • 1 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1 cup diced tomato
  • 1 cup olives
  • 1/4 cup hummus
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • fresh chopped dill and mint


Instructions

  1. Marinate Steak: Add all of the marinade ingredients to a mixing bowl and whisk together until well combined. Add the steak to a large storage bag and then pour the marinade into the bag over the steak. Seal the bag and let the steak marinade in the fridge for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  2. Make the Greek Yogurt Dressing: Add all of the dressing ingredients to a blender or food processor. Pulse or blend until well combined and then transfer to a bowl. Cover and set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
  3. Cook the Steak: When you’re ready to cook the steak, remove it from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Remove the steak from the marinade and shake off any excess marinade. Add the steak to the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and the internal temp reaches 130 degrees (medium-rare).
  4. Remove the steak from the skillet and let rest on a cutting board tented with foil for about 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Start with chopped romaine and white rice then add the sliced steak and all of your favorite toppings and a drizzle of the yogurt-mint dressing.
