Description

A quick and easy grilled steak bowl featuring juicy steak, grilled zucchini, and a tangy Greek yogurt sauce, perfect for family dinners and packed with wholesome flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs flank steak or sirloin (choose a cut with good marbling for juiciness)
2 tbsp olive oil (for searing steak)
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
1 tbsp olive oil (for zucchini)
Pinch of salt and pepper (for zucchini)
½ cup Greek yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste (for sauce)
About 3 cups cooked rice, quinoa, or favorite grain base
Optional: sliced avocado or cherry tomatoes for garnish

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the flank steak. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
Toss the sliced zucchini with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature 135°F). Adjust time for preferred doneness. Use tongs to flip.
Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes after grilling.
While steak rests, grill zucchini slices for 2-3 minutes per side until tender with grill marks.
Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain.
Assemble bowls by layering cooked rice or quinoa, grilled zucchini, and steak slices. Drizzle generously with the yogurt sauce.
Add optional toppings like avocado slices or cherry tomatoes and serve immediately.

Notes

Let the steak rest after grilling to keep it juicy. Grill zucchini last to save time and maintain crisp-tender texture. Use tongs to flip steak to avoid losing juices. For dairy-free sauce, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and add lime juice instead of lemon. Red pepper flakes can be added to sauce for heat.
