Ingredients
- Steak (Sirloin or Flank): 1 pound
- Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
- Lemon Juice: 2 tablespoons
- Dried Oregano: 1 teaspoon
- Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- Cherry Tomatoes: 1 pint, halved
- Cucumber: 1, diced
- Feta Cheese: 4 ounces, crumbled
Instructions
- Step 1: Marinate the steak by combining olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and minced garlic in a bowl. Add the steak, ensuring it's coated, and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator).
- Step 2: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade (discard the marinade) and grill or pan-fry it to your desired level of doneness (approximately 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare).
- Step 3: Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
- Step 4: Prepare the bowl by combining halved cherry tomatoes and diced cucumber in a bowl.
- Step 5: Assemble the bowls by placing the sliced steak on top of the tomato and cucumber mixture. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the steak and vegetables.
Notes
- For optimal flavor, marinate the steak for at least an hour, or even better, overnight in the refrigerator.
- Reheat sliced steak gently in a skillet with a touch of olive oil to prevent it from drying out.
- Serve your Mediterranean steak bowl with a side of warm pita bread or quinoa for a complete and satisfying meal.
- Don't skip the resting step; it allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
