Instructions
Creating the Mediterranean Steak Bowl is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Steak: Place flank steak in a sealed bag or container and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
3. Cook Quinoa or Rice: If you haven’t already, cook quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions.
4. Heat Grill or Skillet: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Cook the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the remaining liquid. Cook the steak for 6-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
6. Let it Rest: Once cooked to your liking, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes.
7. Slice the Steak: Thinly slice the steak against the grain to ensure tenderness.
8. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the quinoa or rice, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, and sliced red onion.
9. Top with Steak: Add a generous portion of sliced steak on top of the vegetables.
10. Add Feta and Garnish: Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley for added flavor.
11. Serve with Lemon: Provide lemon wedges on the side for a fresh squeeze of juice over the bowls.
These steps will guide you in creating a vibrant and tasty Mediterranean Steak Bowl that will impress everyone at the table.
