Ingredients
  

Steak
  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Vegetables
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cucumber diced
  • 0.5 red onion thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup yellow bell pepper diced
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley chopped
Yogurt Sauce
  • 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 0.25 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
  • salt and pepper to taste
Optional Garnish
  • sliced almonds or nuts for topping

Method
 

  1. Season steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat.
  2. Sear steak for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked to desired doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare). Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes before slicing thin against the grain.
  3. While steak rests, prepare vegetables by combining cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, yellow bell pepper, and fresh parsley in a bowl. Toss gently.
  4. Make yogurt sauce by whisking together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  5. To assemble bowls, divide vegetable mixture among four serving bowls. Top each with sliced steak.
  6. Drizzle yogurt sauce generously over each bowl. Garnish with additional fresh parsley and optional sliced almonds. Serve immediately.

Notes

For meal prep, store steak and vegetables separately from yogurt sauce. Assemble fresh when ready to eat. Steak keeps refrigerated for up to 4 days.
