Equipment

  • 1 grill or skillet
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 4 serving bowls
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound flank steak
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Used for marinating steak and in dressing.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa About ⅓ cup dry.
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes Halved.
  • 1 cucumber diced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • ½ cup red onion Thinly sliced.
  • ½ cup feta cheese Crumbled.
  • ¼ cup Kalamata olives Pitted and halved.
  • ¼ cup olive oil For dressing.
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Start by marinating the steak. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture onto the steak and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  • Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  • While the steak is cooking, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions, which usually takes about 15 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced bell pepper, baby spinach, sliced red onion, feta cheese, and Kalamata olives.
  • To make the dressing, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Once the steak has rested, slice it thinly against the grain.
  • In serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa first, followed by the vegetable mixture. Top with sliced steak and drizzle with the dressing.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean-inspired Steak Bowl!
