  • 0.5 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 0.25 cup pickled jalapeños optional

Tzatziki Sauce
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt plain, whole milk
  • 0.5 cup cucumber grated and squeezed dry
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped

Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the steak, coat well, and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Make the tzatziki: Mix Greek yogurt, dried grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate until needed.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drop of oil and blister the cherry tomatoes until charred and soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Cook the marinated steak for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  5. Transfer the steak to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Divide cooked brown rice among 4 bowls. Top with sliced steak, blistered tomatoes, fresh cucumbers, red onions, jalapeños, and feta cheese.
  7. Finish with a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
