Instructions

Let’s build these fresh and flavorful bowls:

1. Cook the Steak:

  • Pat the steak dry and season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat your skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add a touch of oil to the skillet if needed.
  • Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on thickness and desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (approx. 130-135°F for medium-rare).
  • Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 5-10 minutes. Resting is crucial for juicy steak!

2. Prepare Vegetables:

  • While the steak is cooking or resting, prepare the vegetables. In a large bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and diced yellow bell pepper.
  • Add the chopped fresh parsley and toss lightly with a pinch of salt. Set aside.

3. Make Yogurt Sauce:

  • In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Whisk or stir until the sauce is smooth and well blended. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

4. Slice the Steak:

  • After the steak has rested, slice it thinly against the grain.

5. Assemble the Bowls:

  • Divide the prepared vegetable mixture among your serving bowls.
  • Arrange the sliced steak over or alongside the vegetables.
  • Dollop or drizzle a generous amount of the yogurt sauce over the steak and vegetables.

6. Garnish and Serve:

  • Top with more fresh parsley and chopped almonds or other nuts (if using) for extra crunch.
  • Serve your Mediterranean Steak Bowls immediately, while the steak is warm or at room temperature.
