Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 1 lb steak (your choice of cut)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
Dressings & Garnishes
- 1/2 cup hummus
- 1/4 cup tzatziki sauce
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side to reach medium-rare doneness, adjusting time based on thickness to ensure optimal flavor and juiciness.
- Prepare the Veggies: While the steak is cooking, slice the cucumber, chop the tomato, and thinly slice the red onion to prepare the fresh vegetables for the bowl.
- Rest the Steak: Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and moist steak when sliced.
- Assemble the Bowl: Slice the rested steak into thin strips. In individual serving bowls, layer the sliced steak, fresh vegetables, a scoop of hummus, and a dollop of tzatziki sauce to create a balanced and delicious meal.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing each bowl with fresh parsley. Serve immediately to enjoy the vibrant Mediterranean flavors at their best.
Notes
- You can substitute the steak with chicken or lamb for variation.
- Adjust the amount of hummus and tzatziki according to taste preference.
- For a lighter version, use lean cuts of steak.
- Pair with warm pita bread for a complete Mediterranean experience.
- To make it gluten-free, ensure that hummus and tzatziki are free of any gluten-containing additives.
