Ingredients

  • 320 g Flank steak, lean
  • 1 cup Quinoa , cooked
  • 100 g Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 100 g English cucumber, diced
  • 30 g Red onion, thinly sliced
  • 30 g Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 40 g Feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, fresh
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

  • Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and half of the dried oregano.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches its smoke point.
  • Place the steak in the skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare internal temperature.
  • Transfer the steak to a cutting board and allow it to rest for at least 5 to 7 minutes to retain juices.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and remaining oregano to form the vinaigrette.
  • Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips.
  • Assemble the bowls by placing 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa in each dish.
  • Arrange the sliced steak, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and olives over the quinoa base.
  • Garnish with crumbled feta cheese and drizzle the lemon-herb vinaigrette over the ingredients before serving.
